Chattanooga Mocs vs VMI Keydets prediction
I’m not a fan of laying this many points, especially on the road, but I feel we have no choice. The VMI Keydets not only don’t win games, but they don’t play a lick of defense, and they’re 7-13 ATS on the year despite being big underdogs nightly. The Chattanooga Mocs are playing their best ball of the season, and they’ve covered 7 of their last 10 games. The Chattanooga Mocs also beat VMI last month in a game where they scored 109 points on 58 percent shooting. There’s not much left to say for this matchup. It’s the Chattanooga Mocs in another comfortable victory or pass.
