UMass Lowell vs UMBC Prediction
UMass Lowell is playing its best ball of the season with a 7-3 SU and 8-2 ATS record in its last 10 games. However, UMBC has been far and away more consistent and comfortably won both games against UMass Lowell already. UMBC has also covered 9 of its last 10 games and is 17-11 ATS on the season. UMBC looks like the class of the American East and isn’t a team I’m trying to step in front of with the way it’s cashing tickets. I’ll lay the points with the Retrievers.
