Randy’s Free Pick

The Hampton Pirates are a bad team that’s losing on the year by an average of 10 points, playing at home hasn’t helped much, and they lose in the underdog role by an average of 12 points. The Delaware Fightin’ Blue Hens have issues of their own, but this is all about Hampton being awful. It’s Delaware or pass for me.
