PICK: I’m going to take a stab on Detroit. Overall this should be a pretty good matchup regardless, though. The Titans posted some reasonable stats totals against Boston College in their first loss of the year, with 40 percent from the field and 40 rebounds. Detroit was hurt by 17 turnovers and 21 fouls, though. As for Ohio, they’ve been scoring pretty well and have been competitive in two games so far. I like this one to be close most of the way as well. Should be a fun one.
