Robert Morris vs Drake Prediction 

Drake survived a scare in their opener against Northern Arizona, but they had a huge second half to escape with the win. The Bulldogs played very solid defense in that game, but I am curious if they will be as strong on defense as they were in the past. Robert Morris allowed Iowa way too many open looks in their first game and they lost by 32 points. I do think the Colonials will play much better in this game, but I still think Drake will flex their muscle at some point and pull away for a double-digit win. Take the Bulldogs here.
