Samford vs Chattanooga Prediction
The Samford Bulldogs are the better team with an elite level offense, and they already beat Chattanooga on the road a couple of weeks ago. However, Chattanooga is a legit contender in the Southern, and It’s just hard to turn down points. The Chattanooga Mocs have the offense to hang with Samford and they have seven road wins. Chattanooga has also covered seven of its last nine games and is 14-9 ATS on the season overall. Chattanooga is a good basketball team that can beat anybody in the conference, and this is a bit of a revenge spot. I’ll grab the points with the Mocs on the road in what should be a fun, competitive game.
