Pick
I’m going to side with Alcorn State here. Bethune-Cookman has simply been a tough team to back on the road pretty much all year long. Alcorn State hasn’t been a world-beater, but their three home wins have all come by double-digits and maybe it’s more of a fade of Bethune-Cookman on the road than anything else, but give me the Braves laying the points at home here.
