Randy’s Free Pick

This is a battle between two of the worst teams in the league, and I’m just not willing to lay big juice with either side. The Anaheim Ducks should have the edge because they’re at home, but it takes more than that to move the needle, especially when they’ve lost 23 of their last 32 games at home. If forced to pick, give me the Coyotes and the plus money.
