SC State vs Coppin State Prediction
The South Carolina State Bulldogs are the better team with the better offense, so they should be big favorites. South Carolina State already beat Coppin State a month ago on the road and is 6-2 SU at home this season. However, South Carolina State isn’t a great team, and laying this sort of number feels strange. Also, we’ve seen Coppin State cover back-to-back games, which includes an upset over Maryland-Eastern Shore. Coppin State also beat North Carolina Central in the big underdog role previously. Coppin State has games here and there where it puts together a decent effort. Give me the points with the inflated line.
