Davidson vs VCU Prediction
Davidson is a good enough team to look at the underdog role and you don’t see lines this massive with the Wildcats often. The problem is that VCU is unbeaten at home and 18-8-1 ATS on the season. It’s hard to step in front of that. There are just 13 teams in college basketball with a cover percentage of at least 69 percent and VCU is one of them. The favorite has covered seven of the last 10 games between VCU and Davidson. I’ll lay the points with the VCU Rams due to their ability to cash tickets.
