Shane’s Free Pick

This total is too low. In the two games against Purdue and Alabama the defense was awful, and that is going to be the case again here. Penn State is averaging 78.7 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score again here. Morehead State is averaging 75 points per game and they are going to find success here. Both offenses are going to find success here and the over is going to cash.
