Charleston Southern vs Gardner-Webb Prediction
Gardner-Webb is going to get the benefit of the doubt at home, where it’s won five games this season, but I’m not laying this number with the Bulldogs. There’s not enough separation between Charleston Southern and Gardner-Webb to lay this sort of line. Also, we saw Charleston Southern beat Gardner-Webb a month ago fairly easily despite being a two-point underdog. Charleston Southern has covered six of its last 10 games, and we’ve seen Gardner-Webb lose twice in its last 10 games as a favorite. These are two subpar teams in the Big South. Give me Charleston Southern and the points if forced to pick a side.
