Wofford vs. Samford Prediction
I’m on the over in this game. These are two teams that have found their respective footing in offensive play up to this point in the year, in conference, and head-to-head, a lot of the recent meetings between the two have been trending well over the number after turning into track meets and I expect no difference here. Give me the over.
