T.M. Selection: Murray State.

I like Murray State to cover the spread against Tennessee State in this game on Thursday. Murray State is leading their conference at the moment with a 22-2 record and they are a perfect 12-0 in their conference play this year. They are also 7-1 on the road this year and I think they will be extending that to 8-1 after this game. Murray State has looked really good this year and they are surprisingly the best team in the conference at the moment. They have won 12 games in a row and even though they were all in conference play, they have still played some good teams this year like their win over Belmont who was the favorite to win the conference at the beginning of the year. Murray State was about a 7 point dog in that game and they upset Belmont on the road by 20+ points. They have also won over Tennessee State earlier this year, they played them in a home games and won by 20+ points but I don't see Murray State struggling against them in this road game and I think they are going to repeat what they did to them in that 1st meeting. They just won their most recent game but they had lost 2 in a row before that and they haven't looked good against the really good teams in their conference. Their most recent home game was against Belmont and they lost that game by 20+ points. Belmont is definitely on the same level as Murray State and those 2 teams are the most competitive teams in their conference. Belmont just destroyed Tennessee State in a road game and Murray State did the same thing to Belmont earlier this year. Murray State is leagues above Tennessee State here and I don't see any reason why Murray State won't win this game by 20+ points. I like Murray State to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 88-64 Murray State.
