Citadel Bulldogs vs. Charleston Cougars Prediction
I’m on the Citadel and the points here. Charleston’s the better team, but this is just a case of too many points to be giving up to a Citadel team that just went and hung around with South Carolina. The Cougars haven’t been heavily favored in many spots this season and I just don’t think that this year’s Charleston team has the same punch as past Cougar teams. Give me the Citadel and the points here.
