BET GAMBLERS (+180).
Against the spread
The Gamblers’ 2 losses this season were by at least a touchdown while the Generals’ 2 wins this season were both by at least 15 points, But expecting the Gamblers to pick up the outright win, there is no need to bet them on the spread because of the much better payout on the moneyline.
PASS.

BET UNDER 48.5 (-115).
