Alabama A&M Bulldogs vs Grambling Tigers Prediction

Grambling is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings against Alabama A&M, and are 6-3 against the spread in their last 9 meetings. Under is 5-1 in their last 6 meetings, and Grambling has won both meetings against Alabama A&M this season. At home by 67-51 and on the road by 72-61, covering the spread in both, as both games went under the point total.  

In this Alabama A&M Bulldogs vs Grambling Tigers Prediction, Grambling is coming as -5.5-point favorites. Both teams have almost identical records this season, but Grambling has been better on the road with 5 wins this season, while Alabama A&M struggled mightily away from home, having just two wins in 13 matches. Both teams are coming in this matchup in poor form, as Grambling is 1-4 in their last 5 games and 1-4 against the spread, while Alabama A&M is 3-7 in their last 10 games and 2-8 against the spread, so there is no value on either side. Both teams have been playing some lower-scoring games lately, as they are a perfect 8-0 to the under in their last 8 games combined, and both of their meetings this season also went under the total. I expect another low-scoring game in this single-elimination matchup, so give me the under.
