On the other side of this matchup is Bellarmine who sit with a 17-13 record and they have gone 12-12-2 against the spread. It’s been a nice season for Bellarmine but they have lost two of their last three games. Against Eastern Kentucky, the offense could only manage 58 points which led to the 14 point loss. Bellarmine is averaging 70.1 points while their defense is giving up 67.6 points per game. The best player this season has been Dylan Penn who is averaging 16.3 points while shooting 49.5 percent from the field and 21.4 percent from behind the three point line.

Bellarmine is 0-5 against the spread in their last five home games. The over is 6-1 in Florida Gulf Coast’s last seven games overall. The over is 4-1 in Bellarmine’s last five home games. The over is 4-1 Bellarmine’s last five road games against a team with a home winning percentage greater than .600.

I don’t like the way Bellarmine has looked heading into this game, and they are going to struggle to slow down Florida Gulf Coast’s offense. With a faster pace, Bellarmine is going to have issues keeping up, and the Eagles will cover the spread.
