Randy’s Free Pick
The Princeton Tigers have been the better team this season, and they’ve proven they can win on the road, so this line is a bit of a surprise. However, when the line is strange, it is usually for a reason, and you don’t want to make a habit out of questioning oddsmakers. A line smells like fish, either stay away or bet the other side. Give me Penn at home.
