Green Bay vs Fort Wayne Prediction

Fort Wayne has been a very good team at home this season. They have a 9-2 record at home this season and they have won 4 straight games there, winning all of those games by double digits. They have been average in their conference games with a 7-6 record this season but they should get an easy win here at home against a Green Bay team that is only 4-17 this season. Green Bay has been struggling with conference opponents going 3-9 in their conference games this season and they have gone 0-9 on the road as well. Fort Wayne is a good team at home and they have been playing a lot better than Green Bay has been all season. Fort Wayne will likely keep their home streak going here and win another game at home by double digits.
