Pick

I’m backing Howard here. I get the case to be made for Coppin State as the Eagles have had success in this matchup, but this season, the Eagles have been getting run over by the top-end teams in the conference and Howard right now, definitely fits that bill. I think this is just a tough spot for Coppin State and I look for Howard to break out of their funk against Coppin State with a win and cover here.
