Campbell vs The Citadel Prediction
The Citadel Bulldogs haven’t shown much when playing Division One teams, and it’s hard to get behind them with confidence. The Campbell Fighting Camels are decent enough offensively to win games they’re supposed to win, and we’ve seen them show more against better competition. Campbell beat Navy as a 6-point dog and did hang around with Virginia earlier in the season. I have more confidence in Campbell. I’ll lay the bucket with the Fighting Camels on the road.
