Hofstra is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following an ATS win.
Pick
I’m sticking with Hofstra here. The Pride have been kind to me so far in conference play and they’ve been strong at home in conference, outscoring their opponents by almost 15 PPG. Drexel will be up to the task, but at some point, the defense can only do so much to win you games and I think that this is a spot where Hofstra offensively just ends up being too much for the Dragons. Give me Hofstra laying the points.
