Free pick on South Dakota -
I got no problem laying this big number with the Coyotes on the road against the Lumberjacks. South Dakota is off to an impressive 9-3 start with 2 of those 3 losses coming on the road against TCU and Duke. They only lost by 5 to the Horned Frogs as a 17.5-point dog and by 16 as a 23-point dog to the Blue Devils. This is hands down one of the best teams in the Summit League, led by junior Matt Mooney, who was a 1st-Team All-Summit guard as a sophomore last year.
As for Northern Arizona, the start to the 2017 season hasn't gone so well. The Lumberjacks are just 2-8. While they had a brutal stretch to start with road games at Arizona, Arizona State and Kansas State in their first 4 games, unlike the Coyotes, they weren't competitive in any of those games. They lost by 34 to Arizona, 35 to ASU and 22 to K-State. They also have a 32-point loss to Santa Clara and 28-point loss to San Diego.
Northern Arizona comes in giving up 80.3 ppg, and are only averaging 64.1 ppg and shooting a mere 38% from the field. In comparison, the Coyotes average 81.7 ppg and are only allowing a mere 67.2 ppg. Take South Dakota!
