Mississippi Valley State vs Grambling Prediction
In this Mississippi Valley State vs Grambling Prediction, Grambling is coming as -16.5 home favorites. Grambling has been the far better team this season as they are playing against one of the weakest teams of the entire country. But they have been struggling lately with four consecutive losses and are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games, so I am not interested in backing either side. Both teams are 11-3 to the under in their last 14 games combined, as they average just 134.8 points per game combined this season, so I expect another low-scoring affair today. Take the under 136 points.
