The Howard Bison have played nobody worth mentioning through their first two games, so it’s hard to get a proper feel for how good they are. With that said, the Bradley Braves were rough offensively in their season opener, and they’re a team that’s had issues covering numbers dating back to last season. I’ll take a shot with Howard and the points if forced to pick.
