T.M. Selection: Northern Kentucky.

I like Northern Kentucky to cover the spread against Wisconsin-Green Bay in this game on Friday. Northern Kentucky has lost 1/10 games in their previous 10 and they have looked really good lately. That loss just happened last weekend against Detroit but they responded to it well and bounced back in their next game, beating Wisconsin-Milwaukee by 30+ points while holding them to less than 40 points in that game. They played great defense in that game and that was a road game for them too, I expect them to carry over that great defensive play into this game too. Green Bay is even lower than Milwaukee is in their conference standings and they have struggled in conference play this year winning just 3/14 games. Those 3 wins in their conference play came a while ago though and they have lost 6 games in a row since their last win. They lost 4 of those games by 10+ points, including their previous 3 games, and I think they are going to continue that here. Green Bay is already near the bottom of the conference and I think they are going to have a hard time keeping up with Northern Kentucky who has been playing well in conference play this year. I think Northern Kentucky's defense is what's going to separate them here and I expect them to put up a similar performance. Their defense was so good in their most recent game, not only did it allow them to pull ahead and keep adding on to their lead, but they held the opposing team to 39 points and that is really hard to do even against some of the lower division schools. I don't think Green Bay is going to put up a lot of points here and I expect them to fall behind by a lot early in this game. I like Northern Kentucky to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 72-44 Northern Kentucky.
