Dayton Flyers vs Chattanooga Mocs Prediction

In their only previous meeting back in 2015, Chattanooga won 61-59 on the road, covering the spread, as the game went under the point total.

In this Dayton Flyers vs Chattanooga Mocs Prediction, Dayton is coming as -3-point favorites. Maybe the wrong team is favored in this matchup, as Chattanooga had more total wins this season and also more wins away from home than Dayton (11 to 6). The Mocs are coming in this matchup red-hot, as they are 9-1 in their last 10 games and 4-1 against the spread in their last 5. The Flyers are 5-1 in their last 6 games but only 5-5 against the spread.

Given both teams’ recent form and overall records, the value lies with the underdog in this matchup. Give me the Chattanooga Mocs and the +3 points in this one.
