East Tennessee State vs. Wofford Prediction

I’m on Wofford in this game. It was a bit of a back-and-forth decision with the line so tight and these teams fairly even. However, Wofford’s main ATS struggles at home have come when they’re laying more points than what they’re giving up here as the Terriers are still 7-4 SU at home this season. East Tennessee State has had issues on the road all season long and I just don’t see those issues clearing up here all of a sudden. I’ll back Wofford to get the job done at home in this game.
