Marist is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a losing record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 Wednesday games. Lehigh is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I’m looking at the over here. The offense is the strength for both of these teams and the level of competition played up to this point doesn’t give us a real read on what these teams are going to do down the road. I’ll back the over here as I think the offenses let loose in this game.
