The Oakland Golden Grizzlies are probably the better team on paper, and they play with a pace that’s hard to match. However, the Bowling Green Falcons are coming off a nice season opener against Air Force, and they’re absolutely loaded with experience. You can also argue this is closer to a home game for Bowling Green, with it taking place in Michigan. The line seems a little off. I’ll take a shot with the Falcons and the points.
