Detroit vs. Rhode Island Prediction

I’m on the under here. I’m just not comfortable laying big numbers with Rhode Island even though the Rams have shown early on that they can cover them, but all of Rhode Island’s games to this point have been at home so it’s going to be interesting to see if the shots fall less because of the change of venue. On the other side, I don’t know how Detroit scores here, but I also don’t trust them catching any number of points as they’ve been getting crushed. Rather than try to split hairs on a side, I feel the under is the better move.
