Charleston vs UNC Wilmington Prediction
You can make a case for the UNC Wilmington Seahawks, as they’ve won three times on the road this season, and they’ve covered nine of the last 10 games against Charleston. However, we’re only laying a bucket. I have to side with Charleston at home, where it’s 8-1 SU this season. Also, the Charleston Cougars are 12-6 ATS on the year, which includes covers in five of its last eight games as a favorite. The home team has also won five of the last seven games between UNC Wilmington and Charleston. Again, small chalk, give me Charleston at home in a crucial CAA game Thursday night.
