Eastern Kentucky vs Florida Gulf Coast Prediction

You can talk yourself into Eastern Kentucky and the points, as Florida Gulf Coast lost in the first meeting a couple of weeks ago as a two-point favorite. The problem is, that Eastern Kentucky has been hit or miss these last few weeks, and that includes losing to Stetson as a double-digit favorite. Eastern Kentucky is also just 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games. Florida Gulf Coast has seen eight of its 13 wins come at home this season and it covered seven of its last 10 games overall. I like Florida Gulf Coast to get revenge and get a nice home victory and cover, as it builds on what’s been a successful month.
