Randy’s Free Pick

The Youngstown State Penguins are easily the better team and should be favored, but this is a lot of points for a team that shouldn’t be all that motivated to blow the doors off. The IUPUI Jaguars also don’t win games, but they’re 8-2 ATS at home and 17-11 ATS on the season. Youngstown State has been double-digit favorites just once this season. Give me the points.
