Randy’s Free Pick
The Siena Saints are the better team and should be favored, but they’re not a team I’m thrilled to lay chalk with, especially on the road. Siena has a lot of games come down to the wire and wins in the favorite role by an average of just 5.4 points. Siena is 2-3 ATS this season when favorites of 5 or more points. Give me the home dog.
