Alabama State +3 over Morehead State. I think Alabama State is being under valued in this game. In capping this game there was only one common opponent to compare so I also looked at comparable opponents as well.

Mississippi's final record was 16-15. Morehead State played 1 SEC team Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt finished with a 19-12 record and just missed the NCAA tournament. Morehead lost to Vandy by 26 points.
