The VMI Keydets will have their chances to steal this one with their high-powered offense, but there’s no betting against the Chattanooga Mocs for me. Chattanooga has been the class of the Southern Conference this season with a balanced attack, and they’re piling up the covers along with their outright victories. I’m not stepping in front of Chattanooga. I’ll lay the reasonable line.
