PICK: I’ll probably stick with Ohio here. Also probably not touching it, though. The Bobcats are rolling along pretty well on a three-game winning streak right now. Ohio has scored 76 or more points in all three of those games. As for Buffalo, they’ve hit 68 or more points in three straight games, going just 1-2 in that stretch. I like this one to be a pretty high-scoring matchup if both teams are on, with Ohio powering out a cover/win.
