Here is the 2nd game of the opening road slate for CAA play. We get to play another likely top 3 team in Hofstra. Hofstra destroyed Delaware in their opener. Hofstra is a typical team with a lot of offense and an improved but still weak defense. Unfortunately we cant play defense so Hofstra is likely to make us look foolish. We had a great effort in only losing by 10 to NU, but I dont think we keep this one that close, despite our history in having tight games with Hofstra. The good news is we will be done with 2 of the toughest road games after today.
Vegas: Hofstra by 13.5
DU- 72
HU- 91

I'll take Drexel with the points on this one. Unless the team is dominant, you usually don't see a team blow out two conference opponents in a row. I would expect Drexel to keep the game much closer than Delaware could.

The only comment I have to make about this game is that the Eagles won and clinched the playoffs.

Funny how this conference goes. Hofstra destroys Delaware, who then turns right back around and upsets Northeastern. Hofstra is going to lose games they shouldnt due to their defense, but man can they score and look good when their movement is there.
