Alabama A&M vs Jackson State Betting Prediction
I'll probably continue to play for the Bulldogs. However, the Bulldogs struggled against a depleted Alcorn State squad on Saturday, so they'll need a strong performance to make up for it.
The Bulldogs' scoring has been all over the place, but they've scored 66 points or more three times in a row, so they should put up a respectable number today. If the Tigers get off to a strong start, they could cause some trouble for the Bulldogs, as they have been playing much better during their last two games. Take the Bulldogs' ATS in this one.
Pick: Alabama A&M Bulldogs +5.5 (-118)
