Furman is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning record and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a win by 20+ points while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 Tuesday games. Appalachian State is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
I get the case to be made both ways here, but I’m looking at the over. Both of these teams can score well into the 70s on any given night and that’s a bit of a change compared to what we’re used to seeing from App State in past seasons. I could easily see both teams scoring into the 70s here as well, so give me the over.
