Furman vs Wofford Prediction
The Furman Paladins are the more talented team and undefeated at home, so the line makes sense. However, the Wofford Terriers have the scoring ability to give opponents trouble. Wofford has a couple of road wins this season and recently upset East Tennessee State and Saint Louis in the underdog role. Wofford has outright won its last two games as an underdog. Also, the underdog has covered in seven of the last 10 games between Furman and Wofford. Furman has failed to cover three of its last five games. Wofford is coming off two straight wins as well, probably its best stretch of the season. Furman should be favored and should win, but I would not sleep on Wofford in the underdog role, especially with how past meetings have played out. I’ll take my chances with the points.
