Wright State Raiders vs. PFW Mastodons Prediction
I’m on the Raiders here. I get the case to be made for a home dog in some spots, but Wright State locks up the Horizon League regular season title with a win here, and I just don’t like the matchup here for this PFW defense. I think Wright State gets it done here so give me the Raiders on the road.
