Campbell is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 8-2 in their last 10 games following a win. Gardner-Webb is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games and 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games following an ATS loss while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games overall.
I get the case to be made for Campbell with their defense, but the Bulldogs are right there with the Camels as a top-40 scoring defense and are the better offensive unit and GW has also had success on a neutral floor. I’ll lay the points with the Bulldogs here.
