Richmond Spiders vs. St. Bonaventure Bonnies Prediction

I’m on St. Bonaventure in this one. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but the thing is that Richmond for me is far less deep than St. Bonaventure and are far too inconsistent and one win over Richmond doesn’t move the needle for me here. The Bonnies should’ve had a better result against VCU and I think that St. Bonaventure wins and covers at home in this one. Give me the Bonnies.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: St. Bonaventure -5.5
