North Carolina A&T vs. Hofstra Prediction

I’m on North Carolina A&T and the points here. I just think that this is a Hofstra team that continues to get too much respect despite being one of the more disappointing teams in the CAA so far this season compared to expectation coming into the year. North Carolina A&T is still arguably the worst team in the conference, but they’ve shown a lot of fight in a lot of their recent games and have done a decent job covering these bigger point spreads as of late. Give me NC A&T and the points in this one.
