Vermont Catamounts vs. Albany Great Danes Prediction

I’m on Vermont here. I get the case to be made for Albany off of back-to-back wins, but the thing here is that the Great Danes’ back-to-back wins have come against two of the worst teams in the America East and Vermont is still one of the premier teams in this conference. I think Albany is in some trouble here so give me Vermont.
