Point Spread: 2.00 | -105.00 Samford (Home)
Result: Win
Western Carolina played a soft schedule so far and I think Samford is the better team and getting pts at home here.
Not often I back a team that is 0-4 SU & 0-3-1 ATS their last 4 games but that's why the wrong team if favored. But, 3 of 4 were against two of the top 3 teams in the So-Con and two ATS losses and a an ATS push were a combined 4 points from the line. Samford last two games were against Greensboro, the best D by far in the conf and while they shot 32% in game #1 they shot 45% in their last game and improved.

Western had to deal with Covid issues and they've played one game since Dec 30th and that was also on the road on Friday night. Now, they play a second straight away with no practice time between and they shot only 37% in the Friday loss. Both teams fast-paced giving 2H edge to better conditioned team with Samford.
