North Alabama vs Queens Prediction
The Queens Royals are a below-average team that’s heading in the wrong direction offensively and just lost to Jacksonville and North Florida as favorites. Queens is allowing an average of 79 points during its three-game losing streak. The North Alabama Lions have four road wins, and they’re playing some of their best ball of the season overall. North Alabama is also an above-average offensive side that’s top-80 in points per game and has scored 80-plus points in six of its last 10 games. This isn’t a game Queens wants to see when the defense isn’t right. I’ll lay the bucket with North Alabama on the road.
