South Carolina State Bulldogs vs Howard Bison prediction
I’m not thrilled to lay chalk with the Howard Bison, but they’re the better team here, and they beat SC State on the road last month. The South Carolina State Bulldogs are a profitable 14-8-1 ATS on the season, but I have a hard time getting behind a team that doesn’t have a single double-digit scorer, especially on the road. It’s Howard or pass for me.
