Western Carolina Catamounts vs UNC Greensboro Spartans prediction
The Western Carolina Catamounts have had a lot of success on the road this season, so I did consider the points in this spot. However, the UNC Greensboro have been the more consistent team overall, and they beat Western Carolina on the road a few weeks ago in overtime. UNC Greensboro is the more consistent team across the board with the more efficient offense, and Western Carolina has failed to cover 7 of its last 10 games. I’ll lay the reasonable number with UNC Greensboro at home.
