Chattanooga Mocs vs. East Tennessee State Buccaneers Prediction

I’m on Chattanooga and the points here. East Tennessee’s the better team with more scoring depth in this game, but the thing here is that the Mocs have been scrappy in spots and the Mocs have also been able to keep some games competitive, including the first meeting this season at Chattanooga that was a 1-point win for the Bucs. Chattanooga’s covered in 8 of the last 10 head-to-head meetings so give me the Mocs and the points.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Chattanooga +10.5
