Long Island University Sharks vs Wagner Seahawks prediction
The Wagner Seahawks are the better team obviously and being at home doesn’t hurt. However, the LIU Sharks have covered 7 of their last 10 games, and they beat Wagner last month as 6.5 point underdogs. LIU has just one road win this season, but is a profitable 14-11 ATS on the season. Lots of points and a lot of respect for a subpar Wagner team. Give me LIU and the points if forced to pick.
