Gardner-Webb vs Charlotte Prediction

The Charlotte 49ers are just 3-5 ATS in their last 8 games as a double-digit favorite, so I'm not thrilled about laying this much chalk. However, this is a fairly soft number when you consider it's a FCS vs. FBS team, and the Gardner-Webb Runnin' Bulldogs haven't shown much offensively through two games. If Charlotte can't flex its muscles and win this game comfortably at home, It's going to be a long season in the AAC. Gardner-Webb is going through a transition with a new coaching staff and new players at key positions. No excuses for Charlotte. I'll lay the number with the 49ers.

Randy’s Pick Charlotte -10.5
