Lipscomb vs. West Georgia Prediction
I’m going to back Lipscomb in this game. The Bison haven’t been the most consistent in terms of covering these big numbers for much of this season, but I still think that laying the points with the Bison is better than the alternative of siding with West Georgia, even at home, as the Wolves are showing signs of the growing pains that often accompany teams in their first season after making the jump from the subdivision level. The Bison are still viewed by many as the class of the ASUN, and I think that Lipscomb takes care of business by snagging the win and cover in this one so I’ll lay the big number with the Bison on the road here.
Chris’s Pick Lipscomb -13
