Abilene Christian vs Texas Southern Prediction
Texas Southern hasn’t had the easiest schedule in the world, but it also hasn’t shown much heart on the defensive side of the ball. Texas Southern is also 1-7 ATS on the season. Basically, Texas Southern has no betting value at the moment. Abilene Christian has covered 4 of its last 6 games, has won the games it’s supposed to win, and just played Arizona and BYU in back-to-back spots. Abilene Christian is battle tested and ready to go. With Texas Southern taking plays off defensively, this has a chance to get ugly. I’ll lay the reasonable number with Abilene Christian in Houston on Monday night.
