Morehead State vs. Chattanooga Prediction

I’m on Chattanooga here. I know it’s a massive number for a winless Mocs team, but Morehead State is clearly missing the pieces from last year’s team that are no longer there like Riley Minix, as the offense has fallen off of a cliff. Granted, Chattanooga isn’t a Louisville or Cincinnati, but the Mocs are a decent team that finally gets their first home game and are somewhat battle-tested themselves. Give me the Mocs.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Chattanooga -11.5
