North Dakota vs St. Thomas-Minnesota Prediction

St. Thomas-Minnesota is the better team and undefeated at home. St. Thomas-Minnesota also beat North Dakota last month on the road by eight points. However, St. Thomas-Minnesota is coming off bad losses to Oral Roberts and South Dakota State, so it’s hard to follow those games up and lay chalk. North Dakota is fresh off an upset win over its rival and had an upset a few weeks ago over South Dakota State. North Dakota can put it together at times. Give me the points with the Fighting Hawks.

Randy Chambers's Pick: North Dakota +9.5
