Prairie View A&M vs SMU Prediction
The SMU Mustangs are obviously the more talented team and cold roll, but they’re 1-3 ATS on the season and just lost to Butler as a favorite. SMU is also 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games as a double-digit favorite. Two of those failed covers were outright losses. The Prairie View A&M Panthers haven’t played much defense up to this point, but they’re an experienced team with endless upperclassmen, and they’re coming off their best game yet. Prairie View A&M nearly upset Incarnate Word and should be able to build on that effort. I’ll grab the points.
