Bethune-Cookman vs Southern Prediction

Bethune-Cookman vs Southern ATS Pick

  • Southern Jaguars +3.5

The Southern team is coming in as the underdog in this game here. However, I think that the Bethune-Cookman team is going to choke in the game and end up losing the game. At the very least I do not see the Wildcats getting the cover in the game here as 3.5 points seems to be a stretch and that is coming off of the fact that the Jaguars were the opening favorite at -1.5. I look for Southern to take advantage of the weak Wildcats defense in this game here.

Bethune-Cookman vs Southern Total Pick

  • Over 151.5

The total is set only at 151.5 points and I see that total getting blown out of the water. Both of these teams are playing great basketball offensively on the year and the defenses for both of these teams has struggled as well. With that being the case, I do not see the total standing much of a chance as the offenses are able to rule the day.
