Mercer is coming into this game with a 1-3 record this season and they are not returning many players from their mediocre team just a season ago. Their only win this season came against Chicago State on the road by 5 points, but Chicago State is not very good as they are only 2-5 through 7 games this year. They lost their last 2 games on the road against Morehead State and Alabama, losing both games by at least 8 points, but they also have a loss at home to Clark Atlanta who is not even a Division I school. They are going up against a Tennessee State team that is 4-1 this season and has not had a very tough schedule in those. Their 1 loss was a big loss by 20+ points on the road against Oregon and 3 of their wins were also against Fisk, Kentucky State, and Midway who are not even Division I schools, but they do have a quality road win against Portland who is 3-2 this season and they won that game on the road by 10 points. Tennessee State has not had a strong schedule but they were still tested in their road win against Portland and now they are at a neutral location against a much weaker Mercer team who has not been playing well. Tennessee State is going to cover the spread in this game.
