MD Eastern Shore vs Rhode Island Prediction


Rhode Island is obviously the more talented team and should remain undefeated here. This Rhode Island has looked sharp through three games. However, Rhode Island hasn’t really played anybody up to this point, and it’s fair to question just how motivated the Rams will be to lay the wood on a random Thursday night. These games are far more important to MD Eastern Shore, who doesn’t get these looks often.

Also, MD Eastern Shore has been battle-tested with games against Wake Forest and Boston College. MD Eastern Shore has been battle-tested against the Demon Deacons, and the experience of those games could have a carryover effect here. I like teams that are battle-tested early in the season, as it usually leads to a more competitive bunch. MD Eastern Shore shouldn’t be intimidated in this spot. Give me the boatload of points with the road underdog on Thursday.
