Mississippi Valley State vs. Prairie View A&M Prediction
I’m on Mississippi Valley State and the points in this one. It’s almost a sure thing that the Delta Devils are the worst team in the country, but even I have my limits and I’m not laying almost 20 points with a team like Prairie View A&M who is riding a double-digit losing streak coming into this game and head-to-head it’s been Mississippi Valley State that’s had the bulk of the head-to-head success. I think that the Panthers probably win, but I think the Delta Devils can keep it respectable, just like they did in the first meeting this season. Give me Mississippi Valley State and the points in this game.
