Furman is 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 Wednesday games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall. Chattanooga is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 home games.

Pick

I’m leaning towards the under here. Both teams can flat out score, but this has historically been a lower-scoring matchup and I just don’t think we get to a total in the 150s. I could see something in the 140s, like a 75-73 kind of game whichever way you have it going but I think too much is being put into the offensive outputs of these two. Not rushing to bet this thing, but I like the under here.
