Pick

I’m leaning towards Gardner-Webb here. Both teams have had issues with consistency and snagging wins as of late, but the Bulldogs have gotten back to business in recent games and more importantly, they’ve been playing better defensively that Charleston Southern. I think this is a spot where a lack of defense comes back to bite the Bucs, so give me Gardner-Webb here.
