Randy’s Pick
The Towson Tigers have yet to get going offensively, and that scares me for an early start where teams can come out sluggish. The North Texas Mean Green have also been on the end of some tough, tight losses, mainly against LSU and St. John's. A bounce here or a bounce there, North Texas is sitting a lot prettier. Still, North Texas is making progress and showing potential. I'll lay the points with the Mean Green.
