In this Sam Houston vs Missouri State prediction, Missouri State is coming as -6.5 home favorites. Both teams have been terrible this season, with just two and one wins in seven games played, but Missouri State’s both wins have been at home. Sam Houston has failed to cover the spread in its last four games and has scored 20 points combined in three of its last four games. Missouri State has a terrible defense, but they will be facing an ice-cold offense, so I expect them to get the job done at home and cover the point spread.
