The Florida A&M Rattlers and Georgia Bulldogs face off on Friday in a college basketball showdown at Stegman Coliseum. 

Florida A&M comes into this game with a 1-5 record and they have gone 2-3 against the spread. In the last game against Florida the defense was awful giving up 102 points and that led to the 60-point defeat. Two games ago against Albany State, Florida A&M was able to secure a 70-65 victory. The Rattlers are averaging 55.8 points while their defense is giving up 80.8 points per game. The offense is ranked 362 while their defense is ranked 354th. The offense needs to get the offense going, but even more important needs to be the defense. Guard Byron Smith has been the top player for Florida A&M averaging 10.3 points while shooting 30.1 percent from the field. 

On the other side of this matchup is Georgia who sits with a 6-2 record and they have gone 3-5 against the spread. In the last game against Hampton the defense locked down giving up only 54 points, and that led to the 19-point victory. Georgia is averaging 69.4 points while their defense is giving up 63.5 points per game. Guard Terry Roberts has been the top player for Georgia averaging 14 points while shooting 38.1 percent from the field while 27.3 percent from behind the three point line. 

The Rattlers are 5-0 against the spread in their last five games on Friday. The Rattlers are 4-1 against the spread in their last five games following a straight up loss. The over is 4-1 in Florida A&M’s last five gams following an against the spread loss. 

The trends point towards the over, and there is going to be no shortage of scoring in this game. Florida A&M in the last game they gave up over 100 points to Florida, and Georgia should get close to that number here. There will be very little defense played and this game is going to be a shootout. Back the over to cash here.
