Randy’s Pick
The Santa Clara Broncos are just 1-3 ATS this season, but they're a balanced team overall that will be a factor in the WCC. The Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils aren't afraid to play up to their competition, but the bottom line is they don't compete in most of these games. It's been the case for years. Mississippi Valley State gets their boots smoked time and time again in these spots. While 2-2 ATS so far isn't terrible, I have little use for Mississippi Valley State. Give me Santa Clara in a beat down.
