This is a 10* NORTHEAST GOY on St. Francis PA.

In a contest that I see being decided by whichever of these teams has its hands on the ball last, I'm grabbing the points.

St. Francis PA is only 8-14, including just 1-11 on the road. The good news though is that Merrimack is just 8-16 this season, including only 4-6 at home.

The Red Flash have lost three straight, both SU and ATS, and that's important to note in our case here, as St. Francis PA is in fact 7-2 ATS in its last nine after three or more SU/ATS losses in a row.

When these teams last played last season, Merrimack scored the 65-64 road win. We can absolutely expect another competitive "nail-biter" here as well.

Merrimack only averages 58.9 PPG, while St. Francis PA averages 73.3. The difference comes on the defensive end obviously, but that said, the Red Flash catch a big break today on that end of the court.

I do think an outright win is possible, but in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can with ST. FRANCIS PA.

Good luck, NP
