Norfolk State at Howard

Like many small conference teams, the Norfolk State Spartans have played above their talent level for most of the season. They have had trouble scoring in almost all of those games, but when you get them vs. similar competition the scoring numbers show a sharp incline. I would expect them to perform here tonight over their season's average. Howard finds themselves in a similar spot having played Wichita State, and four BCS Conference teams in the early going, has had to slow tempo to try and compete. Tonight they find themselves at home in a winnable game, and that should have them opening things up a lot more here. Play this one on the OVER.
