Abilene Christian vs East Texas A&M Prediction
The East Texas A&M Lions haven’t had the easiest schedule in the world, but 1-10 SU is still 1-10 SU, and they’ve also failed to cover each of their last five games. Early start times usually favor the home team, but it’s hard to take East Texas A&M seriously, a team that hasn’t shown much promise on either side of the ball regardless of competition. The Abilene Christian Wildcats can fill it up offensively. Give me Abilene Christian and whatever the line is.
