East Tennessee State vs Davidson Prediction 

Davidson comes into this matchup looking for their third win to start the season, but they have played a MAC team and a non-D-1 team, so that record really doesn’t show anything. East Tennessee State has lost their only D-1 game so far this year and they are shooting 46% from the field. I really don’t know what to make of either team so far this season, but I will grab East Tennessee State with the points.
