High Point vs Hampton Prediction
I’m with High Point here. I know the Panthers have played in their fair share of close games so far this season, but at the end of the day, the Panthers still have the far more consistent offense that can put up points in bunches. There are only so many teams that Hampton can beat with their offense being as inconsistent as it is, and High Point is not one of them. Give me the Panthers.
