The Northeastern Huskies are just in brutal form right now and not a team I’m looking to get behind, especially with cheap lines. The Hofstra Pride have a clear edge on the offensive side and should be able to push the pace in this contest, making a struggling Northeastern club uncomfortable. This line feels soft given the form of these two teams. Give me Hofstra and the small chalk.
