Chris’ Pick

I’m on the over here. I know it’s two teams with nothing but pride to play for here, but this is a bit of a rivalry that stems back to C-USA as recently as last year, and these are two teams that prioritize offense and don’t really play a whole lot of defense. I could easily see both teams getting well into the 30s here so give me the over.
