Oakland vs. Robert Morris Prediction
I’m backing Oakland here. Oakland being good on the road is nothing new to anyone watching the Horizon League, and Robert Morris has been inconsistent regardless of where they’ve gone. Oakland’s in the running for a Horizon League title and I think they take one step in the right direction with a road win and cover here.
Chris’s Pick Oakland -5.5
