Shane’s Free Pick

Saint Francis won the last game over Fairleigh Dickinson, but this game is going to be a whole lot different. Fairleigh Dickinson is coming off a game where they scored 82 points and they are going to find the offensive success again in this game. Saint Francis isn’t going to keep up, and FDU is going to cover the spread.
