Bradley vs Chattanooga Prediction
It’s going to be the first-ever meeting between these teams. I am backing Chattanooga to cover for several reasons. The Mocs won nine of the previous ten games and have an excellent 21-12 ATS record this year, while they also have a positive 11-5 record on the road. On top of that, Bradley will play without two of its top three scorers, Hannas and Montgomery, who are out with undisclosed injuries. Chattanooga recorded nine consecutive road victories. I won’t be surprised if the Mocs add one more on Tuesday.
