Pennsylvania vs American Prediction
American is an experienced team with some of the best players from the Patriot and isn’t going to lose games, it shouldn’t lose much this season. American has been great at home in recent years and shoots free throws at an elite level. American also hung around with Wake Forest for stretches of that game, which is a confidence booster moving forward. I just don’t like Penn in this spot, a team that has issues with turnovers and is still figuring out a lot of roster turnover from last season.
