Pick
I’m leaning towards Chattanooga here. This is a big number granted, but this is still betting against VMI, who was the worst team in the SoCon, and got beat up left and right over the course of conference play and I don’t see any different result here. Chattanooga is simply the far better team here and I think they get it done in this one with a win and cover.
