The Gardner-Webb Bulldogs aren’t winning games and aren’t covering numbers dating back to last season, so why they’re favored here is a little strange. The Western Carolina Catamounts have the ability to control the pace here and have the Bulldogs on their toes offensively. I’ll grab the free bucket with the Catamounts in a game they could win outright.
