Morehead State vs. Tennessee State Prediction

I’m on Tennessee State here. Morehead State is in flat-out regression, freefall mode whatever you want to fall it as this team is falling and falling fast. The Tigers, on the other hand, have had inconsistencies, but they’re a lot easier to trust right now and have had an offense that’s been electric at home this season. I just think that Morehead State is fading at the wrong time and think that Tennessee State takes advantage here. Give me the Tigers in this one.
