Randy’s Free Pick
The Colgate Raiders should be favored for obvious reasons, especially at home, but this line is a bit disrespectful toward a competitive Army side. The Army Black Knights may not win a lot, but they lose by an average of just 2.4 points on the road, and they actually win on the road by an average of 1.1 points. This is the biggest underdog Army has been all year. I’m not buying it. Give me the points.
