Grambling State vs Hampton Prediction

Hampton may be the more talented team, but it looked shaky yesterday against Jackson State and struggled to get stops defensively. Grambling State made light work of Norfolk in was a toss up game, and it’s enough to turn heads. Grambling State has covered 6 of its last 9 games and has some strong results in the underdog role. Grambling State is coming off possibly its best performance of the season, and it has the offensive depth to cause problems for Hampton. I’m riding with Grambling State on Friday afternoon.
