Randy’s Free Pick
The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks are playing their worst ball of the season, which includes losing their last 5 games by an average of 13.8 points. The Georgia Southern Eagles aren’t great in their own right, and they don’t win by a lot in the favorite role, but they’re in far and away better shape. I’ll lay the chalk.
