This line has shifted a lot in favor of the Bellarmine Knights, and I’m not sure why. The North Alabama Lions have been the more impressive team through 14 games, and they win at home by an average of 35.8 points while shooting 54 percent from the field. I’ll take my chances with the home dog here while fading the public.
