VMI vs. UNC-Greensboro Prediction

I’m going to take a shot on VMI here. Historically, VMI has been a bit of a doormat in the SoCon, but the Keydets are playing better than I can really recall them playing over the last couple of seasons. UNC-Greensboro is still the class of the conference or at least one of the elite teams in the conference, but I just think that VMI is playing with some confidence right now and is more than capable of keeping this game close. I’ll take a shot at VMI and the points in this one.
