St. Francis (N.Y.) is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (4-2), so they might be worth a quick bet.

The wins brought the Terriers up to 10-11 and the Sharks to 3-18.

It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
