The Richmond Spiders are due for a breakout performance, mainly from their offense, and they’re led by a feisty defense that travels. The William & Mary Tribe don’t have much scoring depth and that’s going to be an issue against this Richmond defense. William & Mary is going to have issues finding offensive success here. I’ll lay the chalk.
