Oakland Golden Grizzlies vs Youngstown State Penguins prediction
It feels like Oakland and Youngstown State are heading in different directions, but yet the line is soft. Oakland has had a rough schedule up to this point, with constant road games, and they’ve still shown decent offensive depth and have found themselves in dog fights. Youngstown State has beaten up on a lot of below average teams up to this point. Oakland is 9-5 ATS on the season. I’ll take a shot with the road dog in this early Sunday game.
