North Carolina A&T vs Ohio Prediction
In this North Carolina A&T vs Ohio Prediction, Ohio is coming as -12.5 home favorites. Both teams are coming off wins in their opening games of the season, but Ohio had the far stronger opposition, as they beat by 9 points South Alabama on the road, while North Carolina A&T won Warren Iwlson at home as expected. This will be the home opener of the season for the Bobcats and I expect them to win this one comfortably, as they shot very good from beyond the arc in their season opener, with 42.1%, while North Carolina A&T, even though they won and scored 92 points, struggled badly with its shooting, making just 43.4% of its shots from the field. They also looked bad on the glass, so there nothing that indicates that they can keep this game relatively close. Take Ohio and lay the points at home.
