Detroit Mercy vs Robert Morris Prediction
You can make a case for Detroit Mercy, as it already beat Robert Morris this season in the underdog role. The problem is, that Detroit Mercy isn't the same team on the road as it is at home. Robert Morris is also one of the best cover teams in college basketball with a 17-5 ATS record which includes six straight covers. Robert Morris is also 11-2 SU at home this season. Detroit Mercy is simply one of the worst offensive-scoring teams in the country, and those issues usually don't go away on the road. I expect Robert Morris to get its revenge on Wednesday night. I'll lay the points.
