St. Francis (PA) Red Flash Road Woes
Even though they have they have the 3rd worst overall record in the conference, the Red Flash are actually tied for 4th in league play. Imagine how much better off they’d be if they could find a way to have a semi-respectable mark on the road.
A 1-12 record as visitors has prohibited the Red Flash from making any significant move up the standings. They also haven’t had much success playing at the Pope against their namesake the last few seasons. It’s been over five years since the Red Flash have beaten the Terriers as visitors.

Each side are polar opposites when looking at the over/under records, so betting on the total is cancelled out. What we do love, is a bet on the Terriers to win at home. With flattering moneyline odds of -110, this is too attractive a wager to pass up.
The Red Flash have not shown they can get wins on the road, so our prediction is to take it to the bank with a Terriers straight up victory.
Pick: St. Francis Brooklyn Terriers Moneyline (-110)
