The Bisons are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 Thursday games and 1-6 ATS in their last seven overall. The over is 6-2 in Lipscomb’s last eight overall.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games and 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 overall. The under is 32-12 in Alabama A&M’s last 44 overall.
PICK: I’m sticking with Lipscomb. The Bisons have had some tough matchups over their last seven games or so, and they’re not scoring all that well. Lipscomb has hit 65 or fewer points in six of their last seven outings.
That said, the Bisons shouldn’t have a lot of trouble posting points versus Alabama A&M. The Bulldogs have been at 57 or fewer points in each of their last four, so this should be a good opportunity for a Lipscomb bounce-back.
