UMBC vs New Hampshire Prediction
New Hampshire hung around with UMBC last month, losing by just one point, and this time the game is at home. New Hampshire has seen 6 of its 7 wins come at home. However, UMBC is simply rolling right now, posting a 6-1 SU and ATS record in its last 7 games. UMBC is a balanced team with a defense that travels. This is a team that can win the American East. I’d need more points to consider New Hampshire. I’ll lay the small number with the Retrievers on the road.
