Charleston vs. Campbell Prediction

I’m with Charleston here. I just think Charleston is the better team here and had they not lost that game against Monmouth, we’re probably talking about Charleston laying upwards of 8 or so points in this game. Campbell is just far too inconsistent for my liking to even trust at home in a spot like this, and I think that the Cougars prove to be too much here. The Charleston Cougars for my money are still arguably the front-runner in the CAA right now to take down the conference and Campbell just hasn’t made a clean transition from the Big South going back to last year. Give me Charleston on the road in this one.
