Samford vs Texas Southern Prediction
Texas Southern is going to be battle tested after playing two quality opponents to start the season, but it didn’t show many positives in either game. Texas Southern didn’t play a lick of defense, struggled to find easy offense, and didn’t cover either massive number. Samford has the scoring to give Texas Southern issues and has a history of beating up on lesser competition. The line isn’t crazy, and Texas Southern has a lot of things to figure out. I’ll lay the points with Samford.
