Stetson vs Bellarmine Betting Prediction
I get the argument for the Knights playing at home, but the Hatters have been on a roll since the new year and have been finding ways to both win and cover games. In their last four away games, the Hatters have hit the over four times.
In their last six games overall, the Knights have hit the over five times. This one should be a high scoring game or better, yet either team should find a way to score some easy buckets. Bet your money on the over in this one.
Pick: Over 133 (-110)
