Randy’s Pick
I considered the Hampton Pirates in this spot because of their offensive firepower, but I just can't pull the trigger. The San Jose State Spartans have shown flashes of being the more balanced team, and they dig deeper on the defensive side. San Jose State is also 3-1 ATS on the season and probably has the best player on the floor. Assuming the line isn't too crazy, give me San Jose State.
