Florida Gulf Coast vs West Georgia Prediction

The West Georgia Wolves just aren’t ready to compete at this level yet, and their 2-11 record suggests that. West Georgia lacks the athletes to scare opponents, and the defense is downright awful. The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles have shown they can win on the road, and they shoot a healthy percentage from the field despite not scoring a ton. Florida Gulf Coast isn’t turning heads, but there’s a clear talent gap. Oddsmakers are telling you the same thing with this line. I’ll lay the points with Florida Gulf Coast on the road. West Georgia needs another year or two.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Florida Gulf Coast -8.5
