PICK: I’m going to stick with Texas Southern. Mississippi Valley State had a 38-26 deficit heading into halftime of their loss to Prairie View A&M, and things got worse from there as the Delta Devils were only able to produce five more points. MS Valley State has managed a few close results this year but they’re getting destroyed in most of their games. If Texas Southern plays to their capabilities, the cover should be there.
