Randy’s Free Pick
The New Hampshire Wildcats have been the better team this season, but they’re a road underdog here for a reason. New Hampshire has had no success on the road this season. The NJIT Highlanders play their best ball at home, where they win by an average of 2 points, and they need a win to stop the bleeding. Oddsmakers know something we don’t. Give me NJIT.
