Southern vs East Texas A&M Prediction
The Southern Jaguars are the more talented team, and games against South Dakota and Iowa should have them battle-tested and better prepare them for games against lower-level teams like this. The East Texas A&M Lions haven’t looked good defensively through their first couple of games, and changing the name of the school doesn’t do much. The Southern Jaguars should win this game, and we’re not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me Southern and the small chalk.
