Alabama A&M vs Jackson State Prediction 

Jackson State started the season with 13 straight losses, but they have won their first two conference games and will be at home for this matchup. The Tigers are shooting just 36.8% from the field and they are scoring 62.9 points per game this year. Alabama A&M has won two of their last three games, but they are also a poor shooting team, with a 41.5% field goal percentage. The Bulldogs are scoring 75.4 points per game, but their defense is allowing nearly 80 points per game. Neither team has had much luck playing defense this season and I think this game could go either way. Give me the points with Alabama A&M.
