North Dakota at UMKC

North Dakota will take to the road to square off with UMKC. It should be a competitive game between two mid-majors fighting to find their way back to .500. North Dakota has taken a huge step back after starting the season at 8-4, the Fighting Hawks have dropped six straight games. The culprit has been the lack of focus on the defensive end as they have allowed 79ppg in the six game losing streak. They allowed 79 or more just one time in their eight games prior to that. They will have trouble on the road slowing down a UMKC team that averages just 71.4ppg on the season, but a much different team at home where they are averaging 82.7ppg. I think that is where the value is in this one, as the Kangaroos can put up points in a hurry at home. Make the play OVER the total.
