Portland State vs Wisconsin-Milwaukee Prediction

The Portland State Vikings haven’t played a game in 10 days, and it’s hard to find a rhythm with such a long layoff. I expect to see some rust and sluggish play from Portland State at least early. The Milwaukee Panthers are coming off a strong performance with a road upset over Duquesne, and that’s something they can build off coming back home. Portland State has covered 4 straight games, but I don’t trust having 10 days off. Give me Milwaukee and a reasonable number. 

Randy Chambers's Pick: Wisconsin-Milwaukee -4.5
