Prediction:
The Rams are having a nice stretch and are clearly a talented team, but the only squad they have beaten during their 10-game winning streak inside the top 50 is VCU twice. The Flyers have an elite offense, ranked second nationally in adjusted efficiency, I expect Dayton to pile up the points here and eventually the Rams won’t have any answers. I like the favorites here to win big.
