Mercer vs Chattanooga Prediction

In this Mercer vs Chattanooga Prediction, Mercer is coming as -5.5 road favorites. Mercer has been the better team this season but have been below average on the road. They have been in very good form lately, as they are 7-1 in their last 8 games and 8-2 against the spread, while on the other hand, Chattanooga is 3-7 in its last 10 games. Mercer has been excellent against the spread throughout the season with a 16-4 ATS record and has the 13th-best offense in the entire nation, so I like them as road favorites in this spot. Take Mercer and lay the points in this one.
