Randy’s Free Pick
The High Point Panthers are coming off a nice week by their standards, but they’re still a team that’s losing on the year and doesn’t play up to their competition. The Radford Highlanders are easily the better side, and they’re 10-5-1 ATS on the road. The chalk is reasonable. Give me Radford and the chalk.
