Randy’s Free Pick
The Wofford Terriers are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, but this line is a bit strange. Wofford isn’t playing well over the last week, and they haven’t had success in the favorite role. Wofford is 5-8 ATS as favorites and 2-8 ATS when favorites of single digit points. Give me Mercer and the points.
