West Georgia vs Florida Gulf Coast Prediction

I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles, an average-at-best team, but this has more to do with West Georgia than anything else. The West Georgia Wolves have lost seven of their last 10 games and are getting destroyed defensively. West Georgia is also 1-9 SU on the road this season and just 8-8 ATS despite being an underdog more times than not. West Georgia is allowing 47 percent shooting from the field and has allowed 73 or more points in eight of its last 10 games. Florida Gulf Coast should get whatever it wants offensively and cruise toward a double-digit home victory.
