I get the case to be made for either side in this game, I’m leaning towards the Mountaineers here. The Mount has some questionable losses on their schedule, but they’ve been in it and held their own against some tough customers. Saint Peter’s has as well, but I’m just not a fan of laying points with the Peacocks in the favorite role. I’ll side with Mount St. Mary’s and the points here.
