VCU Rams vs. Fordham Rams Prediction
I’m backing VCU here. The battle of the Rams usually goes the way of VCU over the years, and Fordham’s coming off of the big win over George Washington but I think it al comes crashing back down here against a VCU team that’s going to suffocate them defensively and bang out a win and cover on the road here. Give me VCU.
