Nicholls Colonels vs. Murray State Racers Prediction

I’m on the Racers here. I just think that Murray State is the clear better team here, and while there’s been a game against Mississippi Valley State on the schedule and a loss to SMU, Nicholls has shown zero signs of life out of the gate this season and I think that Murray State gets it done here. Give me the Racers.
