Bethune Cookman vs Florida A&M Prediction 

There are better games on the board to bet as I don’t really trust either of these teams to find a whole lot of success. That being said This Florida A&M defense is so bad giving up 82.9 points per game and they are going to really struggle to defend here. Look for Florida A&M to give up at least close to their season average of 82.9 points per game and that will be the difference here. Back Bethune Cookman to cover the spread.
