The River Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six Wednesday games and 4-1 ATS in their last five as a favorite. The under is 9-0 in UMass Lowell’s last nine at home.
Meanwhile, the Bears are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 7-2 ATS in their last nine overall. The under is 39-18-1 in the Bears’ last 58 road games.
PICK: I’m going with UMass Lowell. The River Hawks have notched some pretty good offensive outings so far this year. They’ve got 77 or more points in three of the last four outings. UMass Lowell didn’t have a whole lot of issues with scoring against an overmatched Fisher in their last outing, but they’re going to have to push a lot harder to keep up with Brown. The Bears have been at 65 points or below in four of their last five games but I like this one to be a higher-scoring affair.
