Wofford vs East Tennessee State Prediction
East Tennessee State has probably been the better team this season, but it’s going to be interesting to see if there’s any rust with either team playing in a week. East Tennessee State and Wofford also saw the road team win in the first two meetings. I’m going to lay the bucket with East Tennessee State, as the Buccaneers are playing the more consistent ball, which includes four straight wins and a sharp defense. East Tennessee State has allowed 69 or fewer points in seven of its last nine games. East Tennessee State is top-40 in scoring defense and top-100 in field goal percentage defense. I trust East Tennessee State to get stops down the stretch of a close game. I’ll lay the bucket.
