Bellarmine vs Lipscomb Prediction
Bellarmine can score the ball, but it doesn’t play much defense, and it’s led to poor results on the road and when stepping up in competition. Bellarmine also just suffered a bad loss to North Alabama. Lipscomb is undefeated at home and a road win over FGCU should give this group a shot in the arm. Lipscomb has the offense to give Bellarmine the business and is 7-2 SU and ATS in the last 9 games against Bellarmine. The over is worth a look, but Lipscomb is the better side and should remain unbeaten at home. I’ll lay the points with the Bisons.
