NC Central is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games while the over is 10-2 in their last 12 games overall.

Pick

I’m leaning towards NC Central here. This should be an awesome matchup between two of the better teams in the MEAC, but this has also been a matchup series dominated by the home team, with the home team winning 5 straight and 8 of the last 9 meetings between the two. I think NC Central has more to lose here with a loss bouncing them from the MEAC regular season title picture while Norfolk State’s already at the top of the mountain looking down. Give me the Eagles here.
