Oakland vs Robert Morris Prediction

Oakland has been having a great season but recently they have been struggling in their games losing 3 straight. All 3 of those losses came on the road and now they will be playing their 4th straight game on the road while their last 3 have not been that close. Robert Morris has not been playing that well either, losing 2 of their last 3 games and they have really struggled against their conference opponents this season. They do not even have a winning record at home this season or in their conference games and they are coming off of a loss at home by close to 20 points. They are getting an Oakland side that has been struggling though and this should be a closer game as both teams look to get back on track here and put some wins together. Oakland has been playing much better this season and they have a much better team as well, they will likely bounce back with a win in this game but they have been playing a lot on the road recently and this game will probably be a lot closer. RMU should be looking to bounce back as well after a bad game at home in their last one and they should put up a good fight here. Oakland will win this game but it will stay within 10 points.
