Randy’s Free Pick
The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles aren’t playing well and not a team I’m excited to lay big chalk with, but it’s just a sign of how bad Austin Peay is. The Austin Peay Governors don’t win, don’t cover numbers, and are losing on the road by an average of 17.5 points. Massive line, but it’s FGCU or pass for me.
