Albany is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss and 1-3-2 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 games following a double-digit home loss. New Hampshire is 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 Wednesday games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games against a team with a road winning percentage below .400 while the over is 5-2 in their last 7 home games.
Pick
I’m leaning towards Albany and the points here. I get why UNH is favored at home, but the issue I have is that neither team is blowing anyone away right now and New Hampshire isn’t some world-beater in the America East. Both teams are being outscored by around three points per game in their last five, so even with home court, I have to side with Albany and the points here.
