East Tennessee State vs Chattanooga Prediction

In this East Tennessee State vs Chattanooga Prediction, East Tennessee State is coming as -4.5 road favorites. East Tennessee State has been the better team this season but has been below average on the road. They have also been struggling against the spread, with a 2-7 ATS record in their last 9 games and are facing a Chattanooga squad that has been good at home and is 3-0 both straight up and against the spread in its last three games, so I like the value with the home dog in this spot. Take Chattanooga and get the +4.5 points.
