Drexel is 2-6 ATS int heir last 8 games against a team with a winning record and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
I get why Princeton’s favored on the surface, but realistically, this Drexel team is a lot better than their record indicates if you watch their game film and were right in their with their two opponents from the recent Gulf Coast showcase. Princeton has a solid record but it’s been against a relatively soft schedule and I just think that the Dragons prove to be a bit much for Princeton here. Give me Drexel and the free bucket.
