Central Arkansas Bears vs Eastern Kentucky Colonels prediction
I'm not excited to lay such a massive line with Eastern Kentucky, but it's an indication of just how bad Central Arkansas is. The Central Arkansas Bears are racking up the losses, they don't play a lick of defense most nights, and they already lost to Eastern Kentucky last month at home by 23 points. The Eastern Kentucky Colonels are 12-3 SU at home, and they've covered 7 of heir last 10 games overall. Massive number, but it's the Eastern Kentucky Colonels or pass for me in this Saturday afternoon spot.
