Lipscomb vs Eastern Kentucky Prediction
Lipscomb is the better team on paper, is 13-8-4 ATS on the season, and has nine road wins this season. I can understand why Lipscomb is laying points in this spot. However, we saw Eastern Kentucky beat Lipscomb a couple of weeks ago as a nine-point underdog. Eastern Kentucky is playing its best ball of the season with seven straight wins and covers in six of those games. That streak not only includes the win over Lipscomb but two upsets over Florida Gulf Coast. Eastern Kentucky is hot and confident. This should be a fun one in the Atlantic Sun. Give me the points with Eastern Kentucky.
