Elon vs North Carolina A&T Prediction
The North Carolina A&T Aggies don’t play defense, they’ve lost 8 of their last 10 games, and playing at home hasn’t helped much. The Elon Phoenix are clearly the better team on both sides of the ball, and their up-tempo offense should have a field day. Also, Elon is one of the best cover teams in college basketball with a 9-1 ATS record. With a cover percentage of 90 percent, only the St. Bonaventure Bonnies have been better this season. Hard to bet against a team that keeps cashing tickets. Give me Elon and the chalk.
