Wyoming vs Bellarmine Prediction
The Bellarmine Knights have had no success on the road, they struggle mightily defensively, and they’re 2-7 ATS on the season. The Wyoming Cowboys have the offense to add to those issues, and they’re unbeaten at home. Bellarmine can score the ball at an above-average clip, but the lack of defense makes it hard to trust against respectable teams. The line is what it is for a reason. Give me the Wyoming Cowboys and the chalk, as this game shouldn’t be close.
