Randy’s Free Pick
The College of Charleston Cougars are playing some of their best ball of the season, which includes winning their last 5 games by an average of 16.4 points. College of Charleston has also been covering machines on the road. The Drexel Dragons have been competitive this year and will be up for this game, but I question if the offensive firepower is there. Give me road favorite.
