Fordham Rams vs. La Salle Explorers Prediction
I’m on the Rams in this one. I know it’s La Salle’s home finale, but the Explorers have done next to nothing this season and I’m not about to just blindly hop on them just because here. The Rams haven’t been lighting the world on fire, but they’re good enough for me to be able to win this game and get the cover on the road laying a bucket. Give me Fordham.
