The Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Fighting Camels are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 Wednesday games & 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

Campbell is an impressive 8-2 at home this season, however, this is a team that can struggle to put up points as the Fighting Camels rank just 253^rd in scoring offense & 261^st in three-pointers made per game. Gardner-Webb has been playing well as of late, winning 9 of their last 12 games, and between the fact that their defense, which ranks t-44^th in scoring defense & 17^th in defensive FG%, should have some success in this one and that I think the Bulldogs are just the better overall team, I think the play is to take Gardner-Webb in this pick-em. Good Luck!
