4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Charlotte +17 & UNDER Total
This is actually a decent Middle Tennessee squad that has been tested thus far, and what can’t be overlooked is they beat a solid Marshall squad on the road and had to go back on the road to play a decent Florida International squad so it was promising to see them competitive in that one.
On thing Charlotte has going for them is they do a good job keeping possession of the ball ranking 8th in time on the field on the road, which means less possessions for Middle Tennessee to pull away.
Middle Tennessee could be without their starter Brent Stockstill, so if it is O’Hara then Charlotte should have an easier time covering the spread.
I expect Middle Tennessee to get the home win, but I also expect Charlotte to build off of their last win and put up a fight against Middle Tennessee in a low scoring affair.
