You can make a case for either side here, but it’s fair to say the South Dakota State Jackrabbits are the better team and in better form overall.

The North Dakota State Bison struggle in the underdog role, where they lose by an average of 11.6 points. The line is reasonable. Give me the Jackrabbits.
