Robert Morris vs. Oakland Prediction

I’m on Oakland here. I know the line may look funky, but I really think that Oakland is a better team than that line indicates. The Golden Grizzlies, this is what they do. They schedule up as they’ve played games against the likes of Arkansas and Michigan State to prep themselves for conference play. Robert Morris just took one on the chin against a bad Detroit team and I think Oakland stymies them in this game as well. Give me Oakland.
