UNC Greensboro Spartans vs VMI Keydets prediction
The VMI Keydets will have their chances to hang around because they’re at home, the only place they’ve had success this season. However, the UNC Greensboro Spartans are an above average offensive team and should have a field day against this VMI defense. VMI is also underdogs most nights and is still just 6-12 ATS on the season. Massive number, but I have no choice but to lay it with the UNC Greensboro Spartans on the road.
