NC Charlotte at Elon

Certainly many are familiar with Charlotte, but Elon, a school in central North Carolina with a population of less than 10,000 is unfamiliar to most, and sometimes that is where the best line value comes from. The Phoenix were 16-16 a year ago. Elon has four starters returning from that team, as well as a pair of promising freshman, and look to improve upon the .500 record from a year ago. Charlotte finished just 14-19 a year ago, and while they return six players from that team, they are still somewhat green, and not very deep. Both teams won their cupcake opponent openers, but I think early on Elon has more experience from a better team a year ago, are also home for this one, and will prevail. Yes, both of these teams scored over 100 in their openers, but those games came against Newberry and William Peace. Who?!? The offense won't come as easily in this one. Elon is 54-31 to the UNDER in their last 85 as a favroite, including 36-18 UNDER since the arrival of current head coach Matt Matheny. The Phoenix are also 39-27 UNDER in the Matheny era after a win. Make the play on Elon and the UNDER.
