Randy’s Free Pick
Neither team is playing well, and it seems like Idaho State is getting the love because it’s at home. However, an argument can bet made Idaho has been the better team this season. This is also a rivalry game where numbers can often be thrown out the window, and the meeting less than a month ago went to overtime. Give me the points in what should be a hostile battle.
