Randy’s Free Pick

Neither of these teams are paying good ball, but it’s fair to say the Alcorn State Braves are in far less shape and that includes losing on the year by an average of 9.1 points. The Prairie View A&M Panthers have their issues, but it’s not that bad. Also, Prairie View A&M is at home, and that matters in a rare national TV game. Expect a packed house and serious energy in the building, as this is a chance to show up and show out. I’ll lay the bucket.
