Queens vs Florida Gulf Coast Prediction
The Florida Gulf Coast Eagles are on a nice little winning streak and are going to get the benefit of the doubt at home. However, we're getting five free points with a Queens team that's won five straight games and has lost just once since December 7. Queens is on fire offensively at the moment and has topped 90 points in three of its last five games. Florida Gulf Coast should be favored, but Queens isn't a team many want to face given the current form. I wouldn't sleep on the road dog in this spot. Give me Queens and the points.
