Vermont vs Albany Prediction
Vermont is probably the better team, and it has a reputation for making runs this time of year. The problem is Vermont is 3-8 SU on the road this season and, despite 12 wins, is 5-16 ATS on the season. With a cover percentage of 23.8 percent, only Sam Houston, Bellarmine, Miami, and Northern Kentucky are worse at covering numbers than Vermont this season. Albany is coming off a massive upset win over Bryant, the sort of win that could turn a season around. Coming back home, Albany has to be feeling good. I’ll take my chances with Albany and the free bucket at home.
