Jackson State at Alabama State

These teams don't play lined games until we get to their conference championship game, and that puts pressure on the oddsmakers to provide a good line. They missed on this one as the pressure has mounted on these teams - the results have been less scoring. Alabama State is a good defensive team, not allowing 11 of their last 16 opponents above 60. Jackson State has turned up the defensive intensity as well, as their two opponents to get here, have averaged just 59 ppg against them. Loser-goes-home games tend to play tight and slow, so this one goes UNDER the total.
