Wofford is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 while the over is 5-1 in their last 6 Wednesday games. Samford is 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 games as a home underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 10-2 in their last 12 games against a team with a winning record.
I’m leaning towards Wofford here, but my stronger play for this one is the over. Samford couldn’t stop the Citadel from hitting 100 points and I think they’ll struggle to stop a solid Wofford team but I do think that Samford gets theirs as well. I think this is a game where both teams get to the high-70s, so give me the over in a game that’s closer to 160.
