The Dragons are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 Tuesday games and 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 at home. The under is 10-4 in Drexel’s last 14 at home.
Meanwhile, the Hens are 1-4 ATS in their last five Tuesday games and 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games. Delaware is 2-5 ATS in their last seven overall.
PICK: I’m probably going to stick with Delaware here, but staying away. The Hens have been putting up some pretty solid points totals lately; they’ve hit 67 or more in each of their last six games, going 4-2 in that time. As for Drexel, they’ve been at 65 or below in two of their last three but can certainly score in a comparable matchup this year. Should be a competitive game, and I think the Hens can pull off the cover.
