Pick
I’m sticking with Gardner-Webb here. The Bulldogs are the much hotter team, especially at home, and Winthrop’s really struggled to put it all together in a lot of their recent road performances. I don’t expect Gardner-Webb to run away and hide here, but I think that they do enough to get themselves a win and cover in this one.
