PICK: I’m probably staying with Alabama A&M. The Bulldogs didn’t play particularly well against a struggling Alcorn State team on Saturday however, so they’ll need a bounce-back effort here. Alabama A&M has been a mixed bag scoring-wise, but they’ve posted 66 or more points in three straight and should hang a decent total here. As for Jackson State, they’re looking much better over their last couple of games and could give Alabama A&M some trouble if they get off to a good start. It’ll be an interesting matchup.
