IPFW vs Robert Morris Prediction
Robert Morris has been solid at home this season, has a flashy offense and is a profitable 9-6 ATS on the season. However, Fort Wayne can score the ball in its own right and gives itself a punchers chance to win this game if it can control the pace. Fort Wayne is coming off a nice upset win over Youngstown State, and also beat Notre Dame a month ago. This has a chance of being a high scoring back and forth contest. Fort Wayne will have its chances to steal it. I’ll grab the points on this Sunday afternoon.
