Randy’s Pick

Neither team is going anywhere fast, and I doubt we see the best game in the world with such an early start. Talk about a sloppy game. With that said, the Iona Gaels have shown far and away more effort defensively, and that’s the one thing you can hold onto here. The Buffalo Bulls haven’t played defense through 5 games, and they’re 1-3 ATS. Iona has at least covered 2 of its first 4 games. Give me Iona and whatever the line is.
