Randy’s Free Pick

The Hartford Hawks are a bad team that’s getting worse, and I’m just not thrilled to back them in any shape or form. Penn has issues of its own, but it still wins the games it’s supposed to, and it wins in the favorite role by an average of 7.7 points. Lot of points, but Hartford is awful for the most part. Give me Penn.
