PICK: I’ll probably stay with Wright State. Also probably not going near this one. The Raiders are doing well on the scoreboard these days; they’ve hit 73 or more points in five of the last six games. Considering the fact that Green Bay has given up 76 or more points in four straight games, that bodes well for Wright State’s scoring chances. I like this one to be fairly close in the first half, with Wright State pulling away late.
