The Panthers are 1-3-2 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win & just 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games. The Jackrabbits are 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games following a ATS loss & 15-7 ATS in their last 22 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Prairie View is still in search of their first win after playing an incredibly tough schedule to start the season, however, I just don’t see it coming on the road against a very good South Dakota State team. Prairie View has struggled on both ends, however, the Panthers have had a ton of issues slowing down opposing offenses as they come into this game ranked just 343^rd in scoring defense, 338^th in defensive FG%, & 346^th in rebound margin. South Dakota State generally always plays well at Frost Arena and as their offense has been great to start the season, ranking 11^th in scoring offense & 3^rd in 3P-FG%, I think the Jackrabbits do enough at home to cover this large spread. Good Luck!
