The Bearcats are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Catamounts are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games, however, are just 1-3 ATS in their last 4 home games.
Binghamton has won 4 of their last 6 games, however, the Bearcats are nothing more than an average team and comes into this game ranked just 194th in scoring offense, 132nd in FG%, & 132nd in scoring defense. Vermont is a perfect 10-0 on the season at home and as the Catamounts defense, which ranks 31st in scoring defense is going to give Binghamton trouble, I think Vermont does enough on the offensive end to cover this large home spread. Good Luck!
