ANDREW’S FREE PICK 

I might take a stab on Middle Tennessee here. The Raiders have been scoring pretty well during this 4-1 stretch with 67 or more points in four of the five outings. The road matchup with FAU on Thursday was a tough one, however Middle Tennessee should match up better here. As for Florida International, they’ve scored a combined 155 points over the last two games after a string of three outings with 61 or fewer points. I like this one to be a fairly high total with the Raiders eking out a cover. Should be a fun matchup.
