Detroit Mercy vs IPFW Prediction
Purdue Fort Wayne is going to be favored at home where it’s unbeaten, and it has the offense to run away in this spot. However, Detroit Mercy is a scrappy bunch that simply competes and has covered 6 of its last 7 games. Detroit Mercy beat up Cleveland State in a toss-up spot, covered against DePaul and Michigan State, and gave Toledo a scare as a double-digit underdog. Detroit can be sloppy defensively, so it may not be pretty, but the results speak for itself. Detroit cashes tickets. Give me the points.
