Randy’s Pick
The FIU Golden Panthers haven't played a lick of defense through 6 games, and I doubt that changes with them on the end of a back to back and having an early, early start. The Loyola Marymount Lions aren't seeing the results they'd like, but the offense has shown serious flashes of potential, and that's enough to believe wins will start to take place. Loyola Marymount should have a field day offensively against FIU here. Give me Loyola Marymount and whatever the line is.
