The Quinnipiac Bobcats have been badly outplayed in their first two games of 2022 and their offense is dropping in production. The Rider Broncs have issues of their own, but they’re coming off back-to-back strong performances, and Powell is really starting to put this club on his back. Rider should have the edge here at home, so I’ll lay the bucket.
