Southern Miss vs Grambling Prediction 

Grambling comes into this matchup on a four game losing streak, but they nearly upset Tulane last time out. The Tigers are shooting 45% from the field, but they are averaging just 30.5 rebounds per game. Southern Miss has won four of their last five games and they have covered this number in three of those four wins. The Golden Eagles are shooting 47% from the field and they are 2-0 at home. We have seen Grambling keep a few games close this year, but I think Southern Miss’ rebounding advantage will be huge. Take the Golden Eagles here.
