Don’t expect this game to be a home blowout win for the Wildcats. They are struggling at the quarterback position and their running game is almost non existent this season.
With the Wildcats being 21.5 point favorites this week, take the underdog Bowling Green Falcons. They matchup well against the overrated Wildcats. The Falcons will cover and possibly win outright in this one.
