North Carolina A&T vs. Charleston Prediction
I’m on the Aggies and the points in this game. I just think this is simply a case of being asked to lay too many points with Charleston in this game. While the Cougars are still one of the elite CAA teams and the Aggies have been blown out by less at times, they’ve also been competitive in some spots, and even if they get beat up here, a sizeable win by 17 or 18 points still doesn’t get Charleston to the betting window. The Aggies just have to show up and be respectable in this game and I think they can so give me North Carolina A&T and the points in this game.
