Elon vs Charleston Prediction
In this Elon vs Charleston Prediction, Charleston is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Both teams have identical overall records this season but Charleston has been very strong at home while Elon is above average on the road. Both teams are 1-2 in their last three games and 1-3 and 1-5 against the spread in their last four and six games respectively, so I see no value on either side. They both are 10-4 to the over in their last 14 games combined, as Elon has a top-90 offense in the entire country, so I expect a high-scoring affair. Take the over 159.5 points in this one.
