The Citadel vs. Chattanooga Prediction

I’m on the Citadel and the points in this game. I took the same approach against Western Carolina and it paid off, but I simply think this is a case of too many points being laid with the Mocs in this game. Chattanooga is a good team and the better team by a fair margin, but the same was said in their game against Western Carolina and the Mocs only won that game by 5 points. I’ll side with the Citadel and the points in this game.
