Delaware vs. Northeastern Betting Prediction
Both teams are pretty unremarkable, but Northeastern has the edge of being at home. Besides the Drexel game on Saturday, they have been competitive in every home game even if they didn't win. Delaware's road performances have generally been poor this season. Taking Northeastern straight up seems like the best play for this game.
Prediction: Northeastern Money Line (-142)
