Charleston vs. North Carolina A&T Prediction
I’m going to take a shot at North Carolina A&T here. Call me crazy, I know Charleston’s off of a loss, but all of a sudden, NC A&T is playing with some confidence, covering three straight games against the number of double-digit dogs. The line’s dropped under double-digits, but Charleston has been guilty of playing with their food against lesser teams in some of their recent games, and the Aggies almost caught Charleston lacking in the first meeting this season, losing by just three points as 18-point underdogs. I think Charleston wins, but another somewhat close game here wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest. Give me North Carolina A&T and the points in this one.
