Detroit Mercy vs. PFW Prediction
I’m on PFW here. I just don’t want any part of Detroit Mercy right now and if IUPUI can blow you out, a team that’s been a doormat of the Horizon League for the last few years, then PFW, who looks to be a front-runner in the Horizon League this season, can surely do some damage. The Mastodons are just miles ahead of where Detroit wishes they could be. Give me PFW laying the points.
