Prairie View A&M vs DePaul Prediction
Both of these teams were able to open the season with a win in their first game, but neither team played well doing it. DePaul was taken to overtime by Southern Indiana, despite hitting 14 three-pointers in the game, while Prairie View A&M allowed 90 points to a non-D-1 team. DePaul is the better team in this matchup, but their defense was awful against Southern Indiana. I think we are going to see a ton of points in this game and even though this is a high total, I am taking the over here.
