Radford vs South Carolina Upstate Prediction
The South Carolina Upstate Spartans have seen four of their five wins this season come at home, so they have to like their chances. The problem is South Carolina Upstate is in rough shape overall with losses in seven of their last 10 games and a 3-6 ATS record in those games. South Carolina Upstate is getting blasted defensively, and that includes allowing 80-plus points in four of its last 10 games. The Radford Highlanders shoot the ball well enough to expose those defensive issues. Radford also has three road wins this season and is 9-5-1 ATS on the season. Give me Radford on the road and whatever the line is.
