Presbyterian vs. USC Upstate Prediction
I’m on Presbyterian here. The Blue Hose have done a great job covering point spreads on the road and I don’t see this game being any different. USC Upstate’s been far too inconsistent for my liking, and I think the Blue Hose can get the win on the road in this one. Give me Presbyterian here.
