ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I’ll probably stick with Sam Houston State. You could make a case either way, though; this should be a pretty fun matchup. The Bearkats have their offense working well over the last seven games, hitting 68 or more points in each of those outings. Sam Houston State has gone 5-2 in that time. As for Seattle, they’ve hit 66 or more points in each of their last nine games, going 8-1 in those outings. This one could go a lot of different ways but I’m thinking it’s more prone to be a shootout. I like Sam Houston State to eke out the cover in a high-scoring and entertaining affair.
