William & Mary vs Charleston Prediction
I’m on Charleston here. I get the case to be made for William & Mary catching points at home, but the Tribe hasn’t necessarily been tested at home if we’re being honest during their 9-0 home start to the year. Charleston is still in my opinion one of the teams to beat in the CAA this season, and I think they’re favored on the road in this spot for a reason. The Cougars for me are still the better team in this game by a decent margin, and I think they pick up the win and cover on the road here. Give me the Cougars laying the bucket.
