Randy’s Pick
The Loyola Marymount Lions are just 2-4 ATS this season, but they’re head and shoulders the better team here and should comfortably win. The Central Arkansas Bears aren’t a good team to put it kindly, and their offense is often stuck in the mud. Central Arkansas have been in a lot of close games and while that may be encouraging, they also lose all of them, and they’re against subpar teams. The Loyola Marymount Lions should win big. I’ll lay the chalk.
