Randy’s Free Pick
The South Dakota Coyotes have been the better team this season, and they’re going to get even more love playing at home. However, neither team is playing good ball right now and this is a rivalry game where you can often throw numbers out the window. It’s not a coincidence the underdog has thrived in these clashes. Give me the points.
