Richmond vs Fordham Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup looking for their first conference win of the season, but Fordham will be at home. The Rams have won three of their last four games and they have allowed 63 points or fewer in four straight. Richmond has lost three of their last four and they just allowed 99 points to George Washington last time out. The Spiders are the better offensive team, but I like how Fordham is defending right now, so I will take the Rams to win at home.
