Charlotte vs Arkansas Prediction
Charlotte is coming into this game as a 19.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to the bookmakers. Charlotte has already won a game on the road this season and they played much better in their last game to snap their losing streak and come into this game with some confidence. Arkansas has been having a great season but they have only beaten one team by that many points this season and it was against the Central Arkansas Bears. All of their other wins have come by less than 20 points and they are not really the type of team that is blowing other teams out. The best bet to place in this game is on Charlotte to cover the spread here as they will hang around in this game.
