It's the 47th meeting in the Battle of the Real HU, and Hampton has dominated with a 40-6 lead. The clubs are a combined 1-7 this season, with that lone victory coming via Hampton in the season opener at George Washington. The reason we will back the Pirates here is that five-star Howard recruit Makur Maker, who averaged 11.5 points and 6.0 boards in his first two games (and shocked the NCAA world by committing to Howard), and reigning MEAC Rookie of the Year Wayne Bristol Jr. (yet to play this season) are both expected to sit again due to injury. The Bison are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games.
