Alcorn State vs Grambling Prediction

Grambling is possibly the better team, and it plays its best ball at home, where four of its six wins have come. However, the truth is neither Alcorn State nor Grambling is a good basketball team, and laying chalk with either side isn’t what I’m trying to do. Alcorn State has a couple of recent upsets over Prairie View A&M and Bethune-Cookman, and the Braves have covered eight of their last 10 games. Alcorn State is 13-6-1 ATS on the season overall. There are much better options out there for Monday’s CBB card, but if forced to pick, I want the points, especially with a team that cashes tickets. Give me Alcorn State.
