Appalachian State at Charlotte Overview
Appalachian State Mountaineers
Last week, the Mountaineers did what the Mountaineers are known for: wreaking havoc against “elite” opponents such as Penn State. Appropriately commemorating their stunning upset of Michigan in the Big House ten years to the day, App State took Penn State into overtime in Happy Valley where they were finally fended off in yet another upset bid. The Mountaineers closed in the vicinity of a 23.5-point pooch but had the Nittany Lions on their back heel with just a minute left in regulation.
Charlotte 49ers
The 49ers got off on the right foot last week when it defeated Fordham in its season opener. Since ascending to the FBS, the 49ers have yet to put together a winning season let alone win more than four games in any campaign under long-time Head Coach Brad Lambert.
Reasons To Back Charlotte
Teams like Charlotte often are spotted great allotment of points because they offer little appeal to the casual bettor. We can take advantage of that here. Moreover, Charlotte gets to play the role that Appalachian State so wonderfully assumed last week when they get their chance to be the spoiler. Appalachian State goes from the hunter to the hunted in a foul swoop, and we have to like that with Charlotte curating the hosting duties to boot.
Reasons To Avoid Appalachian State
Though they are a mid-major team the Mountaineers are as premium as they get. “Though they be little, they be fierce”. This is a football team that has an obsession with winning and performing consistently at the highest level. Before joining the FBS and the Sun Belt Conference, App State was once a three-time defending national champion in Division 1-AA (now the FCS). Since joining the big leagues, this team has been consistently hovering around the ten-win mark year in and year out and has been a perennial contender to win the Sun Belt Conference. With their pedigree comes a hidden premium to back them. When you consider the fact that the swing is nearly 40 points in the span of a week, there is the excellent chance here that an overlay is in the works.
