Green Bay vs Robert Morris Prediction
Green Bay comes into this matchup as one of the worst teams in the country and they have lost 13 games in a row, but they will be at home for this game. The Phoenix are shooting 44.2% from the field and they are scoring 68.9 points per game this year, but they have scored 62 points or fewer in four of their last five. Robert Morris has been inconsistent over the last few weeks and they are shooting just 41.9% from the field this season. I normally don’t like backing bad shooting teams on the road, but this Green Bay team is a fade in just about every spot. Take Robert Morris here.
