East Tennessee State vs The Citadel Prediction
I’m not excited to lay double-digit chalk with East Tennessee State on the road, but this line says more about The Citadel than anything else. The Citadel Bulldogs haven’t won a game since December and haven’t beaten a Division One team since November. The Citadel Bulldogs are also 9-15 ATS on the season. There is zero betting value with The Citadel. There are better options out there on a stacked CBB card but if forced to pick, I’m going to lay the points with East Tennessee State, as a fade of The Citadel more than anything.Â
