The Bradley Braves are the better team, has the rest advantage and won both meetings against Northern Iowa. With that said, the Northern Iowa Panthers are a competitive bunch that not only looked good yesterday, but only loses as underdogs by an average of 5.3 points. This has a chance to be close. Give me Northern Iowa and the buckets.
