Pick
I’m leaning towards Mississippi Valley State here. The Delta Devils may not win a lot of games, but they’ve been competitive in a lot of recent outings and they have a history of giving Alcorn State all they can handle as well. Alcorn State is still one of the top-end teams in the SWAC, but they’ve been winning games, and not necessarily covering a lot of the bigger spreads they’ve been up against in conference play. I think this is another game that Alcorn State wins, but doesn’t cover. Give me the Delta Devils and the points here.
