Free Spread Prediction: St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers +10
After examining this game, we think that Wagner’s desire to get up and down the court will create problems for the St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers, who are more comfortable with a slower pace. Even with a -10 point spread, the Seahawks’ up-tempo style will likely lead to an easy win. Our recommendation is to bet on Wagner to not only come out on top but also cover the spread against St. Francis Brooklyn.
