Chris’ Pick

This is tough for me because you’re really splitting hairs between two teams that don’t have a win over a division 1 opponent so far this season. That being said, both teams have a lot of problems offensively, but Brown plays the better defense and I think the Brown offense, as bad as it’s been can take advantage of shoddy defense from the Roos. Not one I’m rushing to bet, but I’d side with Brown.
