Evansville vs Bradley Prediction

Bradley hasn’t had much covering success this season, but it’s winning the games it’s supposed to and gets after it defensively. Evansville has underachieved up to this point, and that includes recent outright losses to Middle Tennessee, UT Arlington and Drake in the favorite role. Evansville can’t score the ball at a decent clip and is losing games it should win. I doubt Evansville can step up in competition on the road. Thick line, but it has to do with how poor Evansville has been lately. Give me Bradley in a comfortable home win.
