Drexel is coming into this game as an 8 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Drexel has been playing well recently winning 2 of their 3 conference games. In their last 4 games, they have either won or kept the game within 5 points in the loss. They are going up against a Hofstra side that have been winning games but they have not been playing great and have not won a game by this many points in their last 7. This should be a closer game and Drexel will give them a good challenge with this being a conference game. The best bet to place in this game is on Drexel to cover the spread here.
