Pick
I’m probably leaning towards Utah Valley here. The Wolverines are heating up at the right time and frankly aren’t a team I’m looking to step in front of right now. SFA is fully capable of providing value in the underdog role, but this is a tough spot. I’ll lay it and play it with Utah Valley here.
