Randy’s Free Pick
These are two subpar teams that aren’t playing well, and I’m not thrilled to back either side in the favorite role. The Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens win as favorites by an average of just 2.4 points, and they’re not playing great at the moment. It’s Drexel and the points or pass for me, as getting behind Delaware as favorites isn’t something I can do.
