Coppin State Eagles vs Richmond Spiders: Prediction
The Spiders' last four games have been below the total line against a team that has an away winning percentage of less than .400. Their last five games have been below the total mark against a team with a winning percentage of less than .400.
The two teams have faced each other three times and the Spiders have won all three encounters. They will now meet after four years but the situation looks similar. Coppin State looks to be struggling a lot at the moment, which automatically gives Richmond the advantage.
