PICK: I’ll probably go with Bowling Green here. Probably also staying away. There’s not a lot to get excited about here. That said, Bowling Green has managed 66 or more points in seven straight outings so they should score pretty well in this one; it’ll be a good game. The Falcons haven’t exactly faced major competition over their last pair, however they should match up well in this one. As for EMU, they’ve got some pretty nice scoring outings over their last six games so it wouldn’t be surprising to see a high total on Tuesday.
