Texas A&M-Corpus Christi vs. SE Missouri State Final Betting Prediction

Both these teams are dominating against the spread, which makes this a super difficult contest to handicap. The match happens in Ohio, which means neither team will have much of an edge over the other.

One thing to note, though, is that Missouri is much closer to Ohio than Texas. How much closer? SE Missouri State fans must only travel through Illinois and Indiana to get to Ohio. The distance is much more if you want to go from Texas to Ohio than Missouri to Ohio.

Not only that, but we don’t know for sure if Texas A&M-CC is better. In games like this, 4 points can mean a lot, which is why taking the 4 points on Southeast Missouri State is the play.
