Zips Favored to Cover Spread Despite Recent Losing Streak

The Zips have lost three of their last four games, however, they have good pass defense and are averaging two takeaways per game. In contrast, the Bulls have the worst run defense in the country, poor pass defense and are scoring 29 points per game. They are also one of the worst teams when it comes to running the ball. Expect the Zips to keep the Bulls in check, making them the favored team to cover the spread.
