Youngstown State Penguins vs. St. Bonaventure Bonnies Prediction

I’m on the Penguins in this one. I think the Bonnies are more than capable of winning at home here, but this feels like a lot of points for a Penguins team that already won on the road by beating a pretty good Grand Canyon team in their own barn this year. I will take a shot on Youngstown State and the points here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Youngstown State +9.5
