We’re dealing with two teams that are off to rough starts and neither club has done much of anything right at either end of the floor. However, the fact Alcorn State is the favorite here should tell you what oddsmakers think of the Alabama State Hornets. Sometimes it’s good to play the line and trust what the numbers are spitting out. I wouldn’t touch this game personally, but I’d lay the bucket with the Braves if forced to pick.
