Randy’s Free Pick

You could argue the Sacred Heart Pioneers are the better team, so the fact they’re underdogs here is a bit strange. However, the line smells fishy, and it’s why I’m going to take the bait and side with the home team. The St. Francis-Pennsylvania Red Flash win at home by an average of 15.5 points while shooting almost 50 percent from the field.
