In this Prairie View Panthers vs Grambling Tigers Prediction, Grambling is coming as a -7.5 home favorites. Grambling is rightfully favored, as they have been better than Prairie View, who have also been terrible on the road. Both teams are in poor form lately and have been involved in some lower-scoring games, as they are 7-2 to the under in their last 9 games combined. Their previous meeting this season also went under the total, so I’m expecting another low-scoring affair today. Take the under.
