Stetson vs Eastern Kentucky Prediction
Eastern Kentucky is probably the better team with a more explosive offense, but it’s also a team that doesn’t defend. Stetson plays hard despite the lack of results and its 16-13 ATS on the season. Stetson has covered 5 of its last 6 games. That includes an upset over Florida Gulf Coast and a near upset over Jacksonville. In fact, Stetson was a possession away from beating FGCU twice this season. Stetson is more competitive than its record. On a neutral site, I’ll grab the points with the Hatters.
