Longwood vs High Point Prediction
High Point is the better team and the team to beat in the Big South, but this line is a bit thick. Longwood has the offense to compete with most teams in this conference and has four road wins on the season. High Point has failed to cover five of its last seven games, and one of those failed covers was an outright loss to Longwood as a six-point favorite. Longwood is 9-1 SU in the last 10 games against High Point and has covered seven of those games. High Point has to prove it can beat Longwood before I can lay this sort of number. Give me Longwood and the points.
