Bellarmine vs Eastern Kentucky Prediction

The Eastern Kentucky Colonels aren’t world-beaters, but this line has nothing to do with them. This has everything to do with the Bellarmine Knights, who not only have just three wins on the season, but they’re 3-13 ATS on the season. Bellarmine is one of the worst defensive teams in the country, and that includes allowing 82 or more points in six of its last 10 games. There’s just not much you can do in this spot other than fade the Bellarmine Knights. It doesn’t matter what you think of Eastern Kentucky, backing Bellarmine just isn’t an option, and oddsmakers are telling you the same thing with this line. Give me Eastern Kentucky.
