Charleston vs Hofstra Prediction

In this Charleston vs Hofstra Prediction, Hofstra is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Both teams have identical overall records this season, but Hofstra has been almost perfect at home but has been struggling lately, with four consecutive losses and has failed to cover the spread in its last five games. On the flip side, Charleston has been red-hot, with an 8-2 record in its last 10 games and 6-3 against the spread in its last 9 and scores almost the same number of points as Hofstra this season and have the same field goal percentage, so I expect them to keep this one close. Take Charleston and get the +3.5 points.
