New Hampshire vs Albany Betting Prediction
The Wildcats have hit the over in five of their last six games against a team with a low winning percentage. The Great Danes have hit the over five times in their last six games against an away team with a low winning percentage.
The lackluster defense of either team wouldn't be able to stop the easy buckets, and the game should hit the over in the totals.
Pick: Over 132.5 (-110)
