Texas Southern vs Southern Prediction
Texas Southern is playing decent ball, which includes wins in seven of its last 10 games, and that includes a road upset over Grambling. The problem is Southern beat Texas Southern on the road last month and is now at home where it’s undefeated through nine games. And while Southern has failed to cover five of its last six games, Texas Southern is 8-14 ATS on the season. Southern is simply the better team and has won five of the last seven games against Texas Southern. I’ll lay the points with Southern at home on Monday night.
