Randy’s Free Pick
The East Tennessee State Buccaneers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but neither of these teams are playing well right now and there’s not much separation between these clubs overall. I’m not thrilled to lay pints with either side. If forced to pick give me The Citadel Bulldogs and the points.
