Wagner Seahawks vs Merrimack Warriors prediction
The Wagner Seahawks beat Merrimack at home back in January, so there should be confidence heading into this game. However, Merrimack responded with a 16 point win on Wagner’s home court. The Merrimack Warriors are 13-1 SU at home and 18-12 ATS on the season. Wagner has 8 road wins this season and has held 4 of its last 5 opponents under 60 points. The Merrimack Warriors should be favored because they’ve been the better team this season overall, and they’re dominant at home. I still want the points with Wagner because of the success on the road and the fact it already won at the Hammel Court. Give me the Seahawks and the points.
