Norfolk State vs Baylor Prediction
Baylor obviously has the talent to mop the floor in this game, but this is also an extremely early start. We’re talking about an 11 am start in Texas. We’re sure to see sluggish, sloppy play at least early while guys are still trying to wake up. You’re not going to get players at their best out of the gate. Also, Baylor has failed to cover 6 of its last 9 games, and that includes an outright loss to Memphis as a favorite. Norfolk State nearly upset James Madison as a double-digit favorite and played Arizona before that. Norfolk State shouldn’t be scared of the moment. This is a boatload of points. I’ll grab them with Norfolk State.
