Belmont Bruins vs. Murray State Racers Prediction

I’m on Belmont here. Normally I’ve been one to back Murray State being at home, but the Racers’ form has started to dip slightly, and I think Belmont is back on track after a blip last week. All in all, I just feel like Belmont is still the more talented team here and I think the Bruins get the win in this one. Give me Belmont.
