Prediction: Northeastern Huskies VS Bethune-Cookman Wildcats 2025-05-31

The battle for survival in the NCAA Tallahassee Regional. The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, still reeling from their 6-2 loss to No. 9 national seed Florida State, face off against the Northeastern Huskies, who had their 27-game win streak snapped by Mississippi State.

Let's get down to business. The Huskies are heavily favored, with odds ranging from 1.15 to 1.17 across various bookmakers. The Wildcats, on the other hand, are significant underdogs, with prices between 4.7 and 5.3. The spread is consistently set at 4.5 points, with the Huskies as the favorites.

Given the Huskies' recent form and the Wildcats' struggles against a top-ranked team, I'm inclined to pick the Huskies to cover the spread. However, the value lies in the totals market. With both teams capable of putting up runs, I'm predicting a high-scoring affair.

Best Bet: Over 10.5 runs (available at 1.87 on DraftKings and 1.89 on FanDuel). The Huskies' offense, although stifled by Mississippi State, should bounce back against the Wildcats, while Bethune-Cookman's bats have shown promise, with four players recording two hits each against Florida State. Expect a thrilling, back-and-forth contest with plenty of runs scored.
