Robert Morris vs. PFW Prediction
I’m on the over here. We’ve seen the good and bad from both teams this season as both teams won at home, with the Colonials winning in OT and PFW allowing 91 points but the Mastodons got revenge at home by margin. Either way, we saw points in bunches and I think we see it again here. I’ll side with the over in this spot.
