Winthrop vs Charleston Southern Prediction
Winthrop has owned Charleston Southern, which includes an overtime win last month, but the fact that the game went into overtime is a positive sign for this spot. Charleston Southern was a double-digit underdog in that game and had its chances to win. Winthrop is 1-8 SU on the road this season, while Charleston Southern has seen six of its eight wins coming at home. Charleston Southern is coming off a nice upset win over Longwood and has flashed positive signs offensively in its last two games. Charleston Southern should be confident after the first meeting, and this could be a dangerous game for the Eagles. I'll grab the points with Charleston Southern.
