North Alabama vs Austin Peay Prediction
North Alabama is the better team and should win, but it’s also a team that’s allowed teams to hang around at times with subpar defense. One of those teams North Alabama had issues getting stops against was Austin Peay a couple of weeks ago. The game went into overtime and featured a combined 172 points. If Austin Peay could give North Alabama a scare on the road, you’d assume the same can be done at home, where the Governors have won five games. Austin Peay has covered each of its last four games. I’ll take a shot with Austin Peay as a home dog.
