Florida Gulf Coast Eagles

Just one Division I team covered at a lower rate than Florida Gulf Coast, who beat the spread 9 times in 32 in 2025-26. As favorites the Eagles covered 4 of 19.

Nine covers

That is 28.1% against the number over 32 lined games, 364th of 365. The record was 16-18, so this was not a team losing everything; it was a team losing to the line. February showed it plainest: 4-4 straight up, one cover in eight.

Laying points

Favored 19 times, FGCU went 9-10 and covered 4, 21.1%; 17 sides in Division I fared worse when giving points. One unit on each of those 19 moneylines lost 7.66, and just one team in the country lost more backing itself at a short price. The last weekend of February was the sharpest example: 76-70 at North Florida at -298, then 78-63 at Stetson at -198 the next day.

As underdogs they went 5-8 and covered 5 of 13, and those 12 priced moneylines lost only 0.44 units.

The road

Away they won 3 of 14 and covered 3, 21.4%: three teams covered less often on the road. The away moneyline gave back 6.47 units over 13 priced games. At home it was 11-6 straight up, yet 4 covers in 15. Over the 31 priced games the blind unit lost 8.11; only November (5-3, 1.6 units up) and March (2-1, 0.84 up) finished ahead.

Teams met three times

North Alabama lost all three, the third in the ASUN first round, and FGCU covered two. Lipscomb won two of three, though the Eagles took the tournament quarterfinal 77-53 as +160 underdogs. Central Arkansas also won two of three and ended the season in the semifinal. Austin Peay beat them twice, no covers.
