Randy’s Free Pick
The Southern Jaguars aren’t a team I’m thrilled to lay chalk with, but there’s no doubt they’re the better team, especially at home, where they win by an average of 21.5 points. Texas Southern doesn’t win games and doesn’t cover despite being an underdog often. Texas Southern is 6-0 ATS at home this year. I’ll lay the points.
