Prairie View vs Southern prediction

Prairie View vs Southern best bet: Over 150.5 (-116)

Both Prairie View A&M and Southern rank in the Top 40 in tempo and the Top 50 in free-throw rate.

They thrive on forcing turnovers and turning those into easy buckets, while also living at the charity stripe — attempting a combined 114 in their two meetings.

Dontae Horne is capable of getting hot at any time, dropping 46 on Southern in the last meeting. The Jaguars counter that with an offense ranked 31st in 3-point accuracy since the start of February. 

Both teams topped 80 points each time they played, and we'll see more of the same tonight.

Prairie View vs Southern same-game parlay

I like getting an even three points for Prairie View in a game that should come down to the final possession. Horne is a player who can create for himself and shows up in the clutch, and in a win-or-go-home scenario, you can’t underestimate that factor.

The Panthers have covered the spread in nine straight games, winning four of those as outright dogs. Meanwhile, Southern failed to cover its last three games when favored by more than 1.5 points, losing twice in that span.
