In this North Florida vs Stetson Prediction, Stetson is coming as -3.5 home favorites. Stetson has been the better team this season but both teams have been in terrible form lately, as they are 2-8 and 1-6 in their last 10 and 7 games respectively. But North Florida has been 5-1 against the spread in its last 6 games and has a superior offense, scoring 7.6 points per game more than Stetson, so I expect them to keep this somewhat close. Take North Florida and get the +3.5 points.
