Pick

I’m going to back Dayton here. I know Rhode Island’s been playing slightly better, but more often than not this season, the Rams have struggled offensively and the Flyers are not a team you want to have those struggles against as Dayton’s shown flashes of being the team a lot of us expected to see coming into the season. I’ll side with the Flyers laying the points here.
