Randy’s Free Pick
The Bellarmine Knights are not only going to be dealing with tired legs from playing last night, but they’re coming off an emotional high of a last second win. This will also be a packed house this time with Liberty at home. Tough spot. The Liberty Flames win at home by an average of 25.4 points, and they beat up Bellarmine twice this season. Liberty is 12-2 ATS at home. Thick line, but nothing Liberty can’t handle. I’ll lay the chalk.
