Austin Peay vs Queens Prediction

Austin Peay hasn’t had much success on the road this season, and that includes just losing to Bellarmine as a 4.5-point favorite. Queens beat Austin Peay last month on the road by seven points while allowing 34 percent shooting from the field. Austin Peay has covered seven of its last 10 games and it’s enough to give the points a look, but Queens is the better team and showed that in the previous meeting. The line isn’t anything crazy. Give me Queens for a big win to keep chopping away in the Atlantic Sun standings.
