Alabama A&M vs. Samford Prediction

I’m backing Samford here. You simply have a case of the haves vs. the have nots as Samford’s checked off a lot of boxes this season especially against lesser opposition while Alabama A&M’s done nothing but get their butts kicked time and time again this year. I think that Samford dominates this game wire to wire, so give me Samford here.
