Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers vs Fairfield Stags prediction
I’m not excited to get behind either of these teams that have had major issues covering numbers as of late. You can also argue the Mount St. Mary’s Mountaineers are the better team as they’re solid offensively, and they’ve been the better defensive side. However, the Fairfield Stags are at their best at home where they’re 7-4 SU on the year, and we’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. I’d need more points to pull the trigger with Mount St. Mary’s on the road. Give me Fairfield.
