Samford vs Furman Prediction
This is a revenge spot for the Samford Bulldogs after losing to Furman three weeks ago by two points on the road. Furman has seen five of its eight losses this season come on the road. Samford has been shaky these last few weeks, but a big road win over Wofford could be what’s needed to right the ship. Samford has covered five of its last seven games as a favorite. With the more efficient offense, Samford should bounce back and get a nice home win and cover.
