Detroit vs Loyola-Chicago Prediction
The Detroit Mercy Titans didn’t play anybody in their season opener, but clicking like that on both sides of the ball only builds confidence. The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers had issues putting away Chicago State despite being 20-plus point favorites, and it creates a reason for pause in this game. That game was tied at one point in the second half. Detroit is capable of digging deep defensively, and this game should be bigger for the Titans given the lack of chances outside of conference play. Give me Detroit and the points.
