Central Arkansas vs Queens Prediction
Queens already beat Central Arkansas by 16 points on the road this month and should like its chances even more at home. However, this is a lot of points, and Queens has failed to cover six of its last nine games. Some of those failed covers were outright losses to Jacksonville and North Florida in the favorite role. Queens doesn’t defend well enough to lay these sorts of numbers, and we can’t ignore Central Arkansas’ recent effort in a massive upset win over North Florida. There are better options out there on Tuesday’s CBB card, but if forced to pick, I’d want the points with Central Arkansas.
