Randy’s Free Pick

This isn’t the most talented VCU team we’ve seen over the years, but this line is an indication of just how bad Rhode Island is. Not only is Rhode Island losing on the year, but it’s 4-8 ATS at home, playing poor over the last week or so and loses as an underdog by an average of 7.1 points. Thick line, but it’s VCU or pass.
