Charleston Southern Buccaneers vs. Richmond Spiders Prediction
I’m on the Buccaneers and the points in this one. I get why Richmond would be favored at home, but the thing here is that the Buccaneers have been surprisingly competitive this season and I’m just not looking to back the Spiders laying this heavy of a number when we’ve seen Charleston Southern go toe-to-toe with South Carolina already this season. Should be a good game but I think the value is with Charleston Southern and the points here.
