Western Carolina at Georgia Southern

The Davidson Wildcats had the world take notice of the Southern Conference for the past few years, and for many they ruled the roost. There is a new kid on the block that many don't know about yet, but will and that is the Western Carolina Catamounts. The Catamounts are off to a 12-2 start and if you don't think they are for real, just ask Rick Pitino at Louisville. WCU went to Louisville and beat the Cards handily by 8. Georgia Southern is in a soft conference with the Catamounts, but this is top vs. bottom as the Eagles have been grounded, dropping nine straight games, and haven't fared much better vs. the line either as the last time they covered a game was all the way back on December 3. I'll go with the team on the rise - Western Carolina.
