LIU vs Charlotte Prediction

The Charlotte 49ers are the better team and should be favored at home, but this is a feisty Long Island team that has covered three straight games and is becoming battle-tested. The Long Island University Sharks also beat Air Force outright as a double-digit dog and despite being a double-digit dog against Columbia, that was a one-point game with less than five minutes left. Long Island University is having success in these moments and cashing tickets. Give me the points.
