Bethune Cookman Wildcats vs. Grand Canyon Lopes Prediction

I’m on Grand Canyon in this one. I get the case to be made for a decent sized underdog, and Bethune Cookman is someone that schedules up in a spot like this. However, Grand Canyon is one of those teams that is just far more talented than you’d assume based on their name brand, and I think that Grand Canyon lays it on Bethune Cookman at home in this one. Give me the Lopes.
