The Furman Paladins have been the better team all season, and they’re red-hot offensively at the moment. However, the Samford Bulldogs aren’t pushovers, and they just beat Furman a couple of weeks ago. Also, Furman has been shaky at times defensively and can allow teams to hang around. This line is complete disrespect toward Samford. I’ll grab the points here.
