Randy’s Free Pick

The Hofstra Pride are getting the benefit of the doubt here because they’re at home, but you can argue UNC Wilmington is the better team overall. Also, UNC Wilmington has been a covering machine dating back to last year, which includes covers in 17 of their last 21 road tries. Give me the points with the road team.
