Shane’s Free Pick

I don’t trust Lynn and he’s been inconsistent all season. I expect he’s going to have a game like he did two games ago. The Tigers offense is going to have no issue running up the score here, and that is going to be the difference here as the visiting team is going to get the job done. Back the Tigers on the money line.
