Alabama A&M at Alabama State

This is a rivalry game between a pair of struggling teams so the playing field may be an opportunity for one of these teams to step up. Alabama A&M is just 4-10 on the season. They have a very experienced team with all 5 starters back and while they have struggled, they are heading in the right direction with 3 wins in their last 4 games and own a 4-1 ATS mark in their last 5 as a dog. Alabama St. is 4-13. Their issue is finding the bottom of the net. The Hornets have shot less than 37% in 6 of its last 9 games, so they are certainly a high-risk favorite here. I will back Alabama A&M in this one.
