Wofford Terriers vs Furman Paladins prediction

The Furman Paladins I guess are the more talented team, and they should have the edge at home, but this line throws me for a loop honestly. You can argue Wofford has played better this season, has the edge defensively, and did beat Furman by 10 points last month as a 6.5 point underdog. Yes, Furman is 11-2 SU at home, but Wofford has 5 wins on the road this season and that includes a recent upset blowout over Mercer earlier this month. This line is showing Furman way too much respect. Give me the free buckets with Wofford on the road.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Wofford +8.5
