Prairie View A&M vs Southern Prediction
The Prairie View A&M Panthers get a home game for once, and that should give them some sort of confidence. Prairie View A&M has spent a lot of time on the road this season. Still, I’m rolling with Southern and the soft line. The Southern Jaguars have three road wins this season, and recent games against Ole Miss, USC, and Nebraska will get them more prepared for lesser competition. The Prairie View A&M Panthers are just awful defensively, allowing more than 50 percent shooting on the season. It’s hard to win when that’s the case. I’ll lay the reasonable number with Southern on the road.
