Chattanooga vs Samford Prediction

In this Chattanooga vs Samford Prediction, Samford is coming as -4.5 home favorites. Both teams have identical records this season, with Samford being good at home, while Chattanooga has been inefficient on the road. Both teams are coming into this matchup on opposite trajectories, as Samford has been struggling with four consecutive losses and are 1-5 against the spread in their last 6 games. On the flip side, Chattanooga is 3-1 in its last 4 games and has covered the spread in all four, so I like them as road dogs in this spot, as they also have a better defense, allowing 4.2 points less than Samford. Take Chattanooga and get the +4.5 points.
