Arkansas-Pine Bluff picked up a rare road win against Alabama State, however, this is still a team that is just 2-14 on the road this season and has really struggled on both ends of the court as the Golden Lions currently rank just 326^th in scoring offense, 327^th in scoring defense, & 347^th in defensive FG%. Alabama A&M is 4-2 at home this season and as their defense, which ranks 172^nd in scoring defense & 110^th in defensive FG%, should give Arkansas-Pine Bluff some trouble, I’m taking the Bulldogs to cover this mid-range spread. Good Luck!
