Charlotte vs Appalachian State Prediction


Charlotte is a live dog here as it gave Virginia Tech a bit of a scare and can hit shots for stretches. I’m still laying the bucket with Appalachian State at home. Charlotte has been inconsistent overall, while Appalachian State has won the games it’s supposed to win and has covered each of its last 3 games. Appalachian State has simply been the more consistent team across the board and can score at a more efficient clip. Give me Appalachian State to keep this positive start to the season going.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Appalachian State -2.5
