Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders vs Florida International Panthers. The NCAAB pick for this game is the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders.

FIU is one of the conference’s weakest defensive teams. They give up an absurd quantity of offensive rebounds and have a high turnover rate on offense, making it difficult for them to remain in games. This does not bode well for their chances against a Blue Raiders squad that thrives at converting defense into attack.

Middle Tennessee has the best defensive turnover rate in the conference and the fourth-best offensive rebounding rate, thus the Blue Raiders should easily cover this match on Thursday night. The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders will win to a predicted score of 69-65.
