North Alabama vs North Florida Prediction
The North Florida Ospreys have been good at home in the past, but they have three home losses already this season and have massive issues defensively. North Alabama has racked up three road victories, and they’re 10-6 ATS on the season. It’s hard to take North Florida seriously with the defensive effort we see night-to-night. The North Florida Ospreys have allowed 80 or more points in nine of their last 11 games. That’s just not going to get it done, and I usually shy far away from teams that bad defensively. Even on the road, I’ll lay the bucket with North Alabama.
