Randy’s Free Pick

I’m not running to the window to back either of these below average teams, but the Blackhawks are at home and that has to be the key edge here. The Arizona Coyotes don’t win on the road, and their defensive effort is ridiculously poor most nights. The Blackhawks have issues of their own, but at least they’re at home here. Give me the Blackhawks and the pick em price.
