Grambling vs Prairie View A&M Prediction 

Grambling comes into this matchup with the better record and the home-court advantage, but they haven’t been great over the last few weeks. The Tigers have lost three of their last five games and they are shooting just 43.4% from the field this year. Grambling has scored 60 points or fewer in each of their last three losses and they also have a 73-55 loss against Prairie View earlier this year. The Panthers come into this game on a long losing streak and they have allowed at least 78 points in six of their last eight games. I don’t love either team in this matchup, but Prairie View A&M has been awful over the last month. Take Grambling to cover at home.
