Appalachian State vs UNC Wilmington Prediction

I trust the UNC Wilmington offense. They are coming into this game averaging 86.3 points per game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. Appalachian State’s offense has been good too, but they aren’t going to be good enough to keep this game close. It might not be the prettiest game, but UNC Wilmington will come out ahead. Back UNC Wilmington against the spread.
