Elon vs. Campbell Prediction
I’m on Campbell in this game. I get the case to be made for Elon who has been playing extremely well, but I’m not sure I want to get in front of Campbell right now. The Camels are hot, have the best defense in the CAA in conference play, and have the biggest point differential in conference play. Not to mention they’re also playing with revenge on the brain here after their loss to Elon earlier this season. I respect what the Phoenix have done this season, but I just think this is a bad spot for Elon to be in and I think that Campbell gets their revenge at home here. Give me Campbell.
