Monday, Jan. 9's NCAA college football schedule includes some Horizon League action between the Robert Morris Colonials and IUPUI Jaguars.

Robert Morris looks to turn things around tonight following Thursday's 78-56 loss to Youngstown State — the Colonials' second loss in as many games. Meanwhile, IUPUI has lost five of its last six games, as well as its last three in a row, also falling to Youngstown by a 105-74 final score.

Robert Morris vs IUPUI Prediction & Pick

While neither of these teams has been good this season, IUPUI has been much worse. The Jaguars have been held to 62 or fewer points in three of their last six games, operating at a minus-12.0 scoring margin over that stretch. Furthermore, they're also 0-5 against fellow Horizon League teams this year and have also lost nine straight road matchups.

Robert Morris hasn't been impressive, but it at least has a winning record (3-2) at home thus far. The Colonials also only turn the ball over 13.5 times per game (T-No. 227), whereas the Jaguars average 16.6 turnovers — 11th-most in the nation.

Considering how Robert Morris has also won 10 of its last 11 home games played on a Monday, I like the Colonials' chances of opening the week with a victory.

Final Score Prediction: Robert Morris: 72 | IUPUI: 62

Robert Morris vs IUPUI Best Bet

Although Robert Morris should win tonight, I'm not a fan of the 16.5-point spread. The Colonials were favored by 15 points over the Jaguars in their last meeting back in February 2022, only to wind up losing by 10 points. On top of that, Robert Morris is an uninspiring 1-4 ATS in its last five home games.

With IUPUI being 4-1 ATS in its last five outings and shocking Robert Morris less than a year ago, I like the Jaguars keeping things closer than expected.

Bet: IUPUI +16.5 (-114)
