North Florida Ospreys vs Austin Peay Governors prediction
The North Florida Ospreys took Austin Peay to overtime a month ago on the road in a game that produced 186 points. We’re in for a treat if that game can be duplicated, and it should give the Ospreys confidence heading into this contest. With all that said, North Florida has had issues stringing together success so right when you’re ready to believe in the Ospreys, they let you down. Also, the Austin Peay Governors are 12-2 SU at home this season. I’d just need more points to really get behind North Florida. Give me Austin Peay and the soft line.
