Point Spread: 2.50 | -110.00 Western Carolina (Away)
Result: Loss
I'm playing on WESTERN CAROLINA. I'm happy to get points with what I believe to be the superior team. The Catamounts will be desperate for their first conference victory and VMI represents the perfect opponent for them to get it against. While the Keydets have been better at home this year, note that the visiting team won both meetings last season. While the Catamounts won by 12 in the game here, last year's other game was decided by only three. VMI's last two games were decided by a combined four points, an average of two. In fact, VMI is 3-6 its last nine and all three wins were by single-digits. I like the fact that they're off a close loss, as that could have a deflating effect. In what could be another close one, I'm happy to grab the points. That said, I see the visitors digging deep and closing their road trip with a much needed win.
