To choose
I’m leaning towards Kansas City at home. Not a game I’m rushing to bet on because I like some South Dakota state hoops, but the Jackrabbits haven’t looked good in their last two road games and despite my dislike of UMKC, the reality is that the Roos did their best at home and in a nearby pick’em, I have to line up with home field advantage here. Give me KC.
