FCS Picks/Week 5

Week 5 of the FCS schedule kicks off tonight with a contest in the SWAC between the Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions and Prairie View A&M Panthers. Game time is 7:30 pm ET at Panther Stadium.

The Panthers (3-1, 2-0 in the SWAC) are riding a two-game winning streak following last week’s 24-10 win over Grambling. The Golden Lions (1-2, 0-1) are looking to snap a two-game losing streak following a 39-38 loss to Alcorn State that saw them blow a 26-9 first-half lead.

Dunkel has Arkansas-Pine Bluff pulling off the upset tonight in a high-scoring game that goes over the Vegas total of 57 ½.

Dunkel’s Pick: AR-Pine Bluff (+7); Over
