The Northeastern Huskies are a tough sell in their current form, but if there was ever a game for them to get back on track, it would be at home against a Drexel team that’s not playing any better. Drexel loses on the road by an average of 7.8 points. Two inconsistent clubs, but I have to give the edge to home court in this near pick em.
