Prairie View A&M vs. Fresno State Prediction
I’m on the Panthers and the points. I know Prairie View got crushed by SMU, but that’s an SMU team that plays at such a fast pace that it’s hard for most teams to keep up. Fresno State plays at a slow, defensive-minded pace and I just don’t trust them to win a game like this by a margin. Give me Prairie View A&M and the points.
