PICK: I’m going to stay with St. Thomas MN. The Tommies didn’t have any trouble versus Green Bay in their last outing and they’re playing well over this currently 4-1 run. St. Thomas MN has scored 76 or more points in all four of their victories during that stretch and they should post a good total here as well. As for North Dakota, they’ve scored 69 or more points in four of their last six outings so they’re on a pretty solid offensive run themselves. This matchup could be pretty interesting if both teams play well, but I like St. Thomas MN on the cover a little better.
