PICK: I’m going to take a stab on Central Arkansas here, but probably staying away. I’d imagine this matchup will be pretty competitive and a lot of different things could happen. That said, the Bears have been able to score pretty well in comparable matchups lately and I think they’ll find some offense in this one.
Kennesaw State has found some solid points totals here and there lately, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see a high finish here. Should be a fun game, and I think the Bears can power out the cover.
