Trends
Jackson State is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Monday games while the under is 4-0 in their last 4 games overall. Texas Southern is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 home games.
Pick
I get that laying points with Texas Southern at home hasn’t been ideal in a lot of their recent games, but the problem with backing the other side is that Jackson State hasn’t been good on the road either. More often than not, even in conference, Jackson State was getting blown out and I see it being no different here. I’m not rushing to bet this game, but I’d side with Texas Southern and lay the points here.
