Randy’s Free Pick
These are two below average teams, and I’m not excited to back either side, but give me Weber State at home if forced to pick. The Weber State Wildcats play their best ball at home, where they win by an average of 8.4 points and shoot 50.1 percent from the field. Weber State has also had covering success lately. It’s Weber State or pass for me.
