Northern Kentucky Norse vs Wright State Raiders prediction
The Northern Kentucky Norse are playing some of their best ball of the season right now, and they have 5 wins on the road. I did consider the points in this spot with the Norse. However, the Wright State Raiders already beat Northern Kentucky this season and is at home where you’d think they’d like their chances to get the regular season sweep. Wright State is a shaky 8-6 SU at home, but the Nutter Center should be rocking for this one. Wright State has given Northern Kentucky fits offensively in past meetings. I’ll lay the reasonable chalk with the Raiders.
