St. Francis Brooklyn vs Central Connecticut State Betting Prediction
Albeit the Blue Devils are favored here being the home team, I would lean towards the Terriers upseeting the home crowd today. The lackluster defense of the Blue Devils wouldn't be able to stop the Terriers' offense and thereby lose the game. Take the away team to cover the spread and win this game today.
Pick: St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers +1.5 (-112)
