Sacred Heart vs Merrimack Prediction
The Merrimack Warriors are the better team and should be favored, and I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if looking to lay the small number. Merrimack also has three road wins this season and is 9-5 ATS on the year. However, the Sacred Heart Pioneers are 4-1 SU at home this season, and this is an extremely early start. You usually see sluggish and sloppy play in these early time slots, and the home team usually has the edge. The Sacred Heart Pioneers have also outright won three of their last five games in the underdog role. It wouldn’t be shocking to see Sacred Heart win this game outright. Give me the Pioneers and the free bucket.
