In this Alcorn State vs Florida A&M Prediction, Florida A&M is coming as -7.5 home favorites. Florida A&M has been the better team this season, as they are facing a terrible Alcorn State squad that has only three wins in 17 games played and have been atrocious on the road, with a 1-13 record. This will also be the 15th road game for Alcorn State out of their 18 overall games and are going up against a red-hot Florida A&M team that has four straight wins and is 5-0 against the spread in its last 5 games. Alcorn State has an atrocious -20.4 point differential this season, so I expect a blowout win for the home team in this matchup. Take Florida A&M and lay the points.
