Howard Bison vs Texas Southern Tigers prediction
The Howard Bison have issues of their own, but at least they’ve run into some wins this season. The Texas Southern Tigers have yet to win a game, they’re god awful offensively, and I highly doubt playing on the end of a back to back helps them out. I want nothing to do with Texas Southern, a winless team with zero offensive spark. Howard should win this game. I’ll lay the bucket.
