Robert Morris vs Delaware Prediction

The Robert Morris Colonials simply lack the offensive talent needed to compete with teams outside of their league, and they were absolutely terrible in their opener against West Virginia. The Delaware Blue Hens performed poorly against Bucknell where they lost as favorites, but that should motivate them to bounce back here and we made money on the Blue Hens last season. I'm not ready to give up on Delaware after just one game. This should be a win and cover for the home team. Give me Delaware.
