Davidson is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games against a team with a winning home record while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games overall. Charleston is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 while the over is 9-1 in their last 10 games overall.
I get the case to be made for either side here, but I’m leaning towards Charleston being at home and the fact that I feel they’ve done well against the much tougher schedule so far this season. Davidson’s a solid team that’s going to challenge in the A-10 this season, but I just feel that right now, in this game, Charleston’s the play.
