In Texas Southern vs Murray State Prediction, Murray State is coming as -27.5 home favorites. Murray State has been the better team this season as it has been undefeated and have been excellent both on the offensive and the defensive end, winning by an average of almost 30 points per game. On the flip side, Texas Southern has lost both of its games against Division I teams, averaging just 65 ppg and having allowed 195 total points in those two games, so I don’t expect them to put much of a fight here on the road. Take Murray State and lay the big number at home.
