Betting on the Rhode Island Rams

- Moneyline: (N/A).
- Over/Under: 55.5
The Rams’ season could have gone to Pittsburgh with a 3-0 record had they not been stunned by Delaware in the second half of the game.
That loss is doubly valuable considering that this week they must face one of the best teams in the FCB, the Panthers. After a pair of wins by scoring 35 points, Rhode Island was unable to deploy its good ground attack to keep its lead against Delaware.
Against Pittsburgh, the key will be that their defense can continue to perform as well as it has so far. The Rams’ offensive line has allowed 10 catches to their quarterback in 2022 and at Rhode Island their pass rushing corps has been fairly consistent.
Betting on the Pittsburgh Panthers

- Over/Under: 55.5
The Panthers’ game against Rhode Island couldn’t have come at a better time for them, as they need a resounding victory to avoid dropping out of the ranking of the nation’s best.
The first thing is for the offense to continue to control the clock, as it has done so far with a very good ground attack that in the last game, against Western Michigan, recorded 240 yards. The Panthers are having problems with their quarterback, and a good handling of the ball on the ground will be more than enough to avoid catches.
For their part, the defense has not been as good as in the previous season, but their mistakes are not serious enough to get many points from an offense like the Rams. Their pressure on the opposing quarterback and their ability to avoid big plays is their best quality.
JefeBet Prediction
Rhode Island is not a bad team, but the differences between these two teams are abysmal. Without being at their best, Pittsburgh has a ground attack capable of wreaking havoc on the Rams’ defense, while their defense, which has been inconsistent throughout, should have no trouble dealing with their opponents’ ground offense.
Prediction: Pittsburgh Spread (PIT 47 – RI 10).
