North Carolina A&T vs Hampton Prediction

The North Carolina A&T Aggies just don’t have the defense to trust on the road, and they’ve allowed 80-plus points in three straight games. The Hampton Pirates are far more balanced, and they’ve covered 4 straight games overall and 6 of their last 9 games. Hampton should be able to control the tempo and win an ugly, slow-paced game. The line is reasonable. Give me the Hampton Pirates.
