Evansville vs Belmont Prediction
Belmont is the clear better team and could run away with things at home, where it’s won eight of 11 games. Evansville is one of the worst offensive teams in the country, and that usually doesn’t translate to road success. However, Belmont is just 2-7-1 ATS in its last 10 games. Evansville also hung around with Belmont a couple of weeks ago and even had a seven-point lead with 12 minutes left to play. Evansville is also coming off big upsets over Murray State and Valparaiso. I’ll take a shot with Evansville and the free buckets on Sunday afternoon.
