Texas Southern vs Grambling State Prediction
Texas Southern has zero betting value up to this point, as it has yet to win a game against a D1 opponent and is 1-9 ATS on the season. Texas Southern’s only cover this season was a 35-point loss to Vanderbilt. Congrats. Grambling has the offense to give this Texas Southern defense fits and is a battle tested group that’s played some heavy hitters on the road. Grambling is undefeated at home and has covered 5 of its last 6 games. There’s nothing attractive about Texas Southern. I’ll lay the points with Grambling.
