Pick
I’m leaning towards Montana State here. The Bobcats are just the better team coming into this game and I just can’t trust the Hornets for any consistent offense. As the scoring has fallen off of a cliff for the Hornets in a lot of recent games. Montana State hasn’t been covering a ton of numbers the last couple of weeks, but I think they do enough to buck that trend and get a win and cover here.
