Chattanooga Mocs vs. UNC Greensboro Spartans Prediction

I’m on UNC Greensboro here. I think the line being as short as it is is very telling, and Chattanooga’s been getting beat up in a lot of their recent road outings. UNC Greensboro hasn’t beaten many quality teams this year, but historically this has been a solid home team, especially when they get into conference play, so I’ll roll with the Spartans here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: UNC-Greensboro +1.5
