Randy’s Free Pick
These re two bad teams that aren’t getting any better. They’re playing poor ball, they’re losing, and they don’t cover numbers. Nothing to like here. With that said, the Cal State-Northridge Matadors are at home and that has to count for something. Cal State-Northridge at least wins at home by an average of 6.7 points. I’ll take it.
