It will be the battle of Western New York tonight when the Niagara Purple Eagles make the short trip to Buffalo to face the Canisius Golden Griffins. The 7-13 Purple Eagles have lost 5 straight but they have all been relatively close games and they should get the monkey off their back tonight. The Griffins are just 2-18 on the season, lost 2 straight, 8 of their last 10, and unlike Niagara they have not been close games at all. The Purple Eagles have won 7 of the last 10 meetings, average more points per game and give up less. The line is currently Niagara -3 and the hook with a money line of -170 and these games are usually hard-fought, so my advice is to consider Niagara on the money.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NIAGARA PURPLE EAGLES M/L
