North Alabama vs Lipscomb Prediction
You can argue Lipscomb is the better team and it did beat North Alabama a couple of weeks ago by 12 points. However, North Alabama won the first meeting back in January, and it’s playing its best ball of the season with wins in nine of its last 10 games. North Alabama has also covered eight of its last 10 games and is 21-10 ATS on the season overall. North Alabama not only continues to cash tickets at an elite clip, but if that offense continues to roll, this could be an upset. I’ll take my chances with North Alabama and the points.
