Randy’s Free Pick
The Syracuse Orange are the better team, but they’ve been hit or miss all yer to the point I’m not excited to lay points with them in the favorite role. The Boston College Eagles are at home, where they win by an average of 1.3 points, and you can argue they’ve played the better ball over the last week or so. Give me the free bucket if forced to pick.
