Radford vs Charleston Southern Prediction
The Charleston Southern Buccaneers are taking steps in the wrong direction, as they've lost seven of their last 10 games and just allowed 102 points to Winthrop. The Radford Highlanders shoot the ball decently enough to add to those issues, and they're not afraid of the road, where they've racked up four wins. Radford is also a profitable 10-6-1 ATS on the season. Radford looks like a team that can win the Big South, while Charleston Southern is fighting to get its defense together. These are two teams heading in completely different directions. We're not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me Radford and the reasonable number on the road.
