Randy’s Free Pick
I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams that are in terrible form. The High Point Panthers have been the better side overall, but they’re playing horrible ball right now, and they lose on the road by an average of 16 points. At least Presbyterian is at home here, where it’s also covered numbers. I’ll lay the bucket.
