South Carolina State vs. Coppin State Prediction

I’m on the under in this game. These are just two teams that I don’t trust offensively in this game even though it’s more so Coppin State that’s been the worse of the two at putting points on the board so far this season. This is just a game where I think the Bulldogs play down to their opposition here, and Coppin State drags South Carolina State into the mud. Feels like a first-to-60-wins kind of game if we even get to that number. There are much better options to wager on when it comes to Monday’s card, but for this one, I’m going to roll with the under in this game.
