Randy’s Pick
The Missouri State Bears are the better team here, and they’ve owned Evansville over the years, which includes wins in 8 of the last 10 meetings. I get it. However, the Evansville Purple Aces are a great offensive team, and giving them this many free points feels dangerous. Also, Evansville is not only undefeated on the season but also 5-0 ATS on the season. Give me the free buckets.
