Abilene Christian vs Utah Valley Prediction
Utah Valley beat up on Abilene Christian earlier this month and is undefeated at home. However, Utah Valley has also had issues covering big numbers lately and that includes losing to Southern Utah outright as a double-digit favorite. Abilene Christian has three road wins and can slow things down to hang around in games. There are much better games out there to bet on this fine Saturday, but I’ll take a shot with the points if forced to pick.
