Randy’s Free Pick

I’d assume Georgia Southern can get its act together at home, where it wins by an average of 8.7 points and holds teams under 41 percent shooting. Georgia State is just a poor team that doesn’t get better in spots like this and loses on the road by an average of 11.2 points. Give me Georgia Southern and the reasonable number.
