IPFW Mastodons vs. Oakland Golden Grizzlies Prediction

I’m on the Golden Grizzlies at home here. Oakland always schedules up in the non-conference portion of their schedule to serve them well at this point in the year and it usually preps the Golden Grizzlies well, and I just haven’t been impressed with IPFW up to this point in the year if I’m being honest. I think Oakland gets the job done here so give me the Golden Grizzlies at home in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Oakland -8.5
