Alabama A&M vs Mississippi Valley State Prediction 

Mississippi Valley State comes into this matchup on a lengthy losing streak and they only have one win on the season. The Delta Devils are shooting 41% from the field and they have allowed at least 86 points in five straight games. Alabama A&M has lost three D1 games in a row, but they are shooting 42% from the field and have been much better on defense. I don’t love either side in this game, but I can’t back Mississippi Valley State with how they are defending. Take the Bulldogs here.
