Charleston Southern is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 Friday games. High Point is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a win while the under is 9-4 in their last 13 games overall. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these two teams.

Charleston Southern’s picked up their play, especially o the road where the Buccaneers have made some improvements to the point that they can cover numbers. However, this is still a one win Charleston Southern team and not a team I’m looking to back long term truthfully. I think High Point and their solid defense do enough to get us a win and cover here, so I’ll lay it and play it with High Point here.
