Saint Peter’s vs Rider Prediction

Give me Rider here as on the road. Yes, Saint Peter’s was able to pick up a win in the last game but are we really sold on this team? If you say you trust them you are lying. Saint Peter’s is averaging only 65.7 points per game and their offense isn’t going to be good enough. Look for Rider to get out to a strong offensive start, and they are going to end up on top.  Back Rider against the spread here.
