Florida A&M vs Jackson State Prediction
Jackson State is playing its best basketball of the season with wins in eight of its last 10 games. However, we’re getting points with a Florida A&M team that beat Jackson State twice this season. Jackson State was just a 22-point favorite against Miss Valley State and almost lost that game outright. Florida A&M is also 22-6 ATS on the season which makes the Rattlers a top-three cover team in the country along with UC San Diego and Robert Morris. It’s hard to turn down the points with Florida A&M in this spot, and I wouldn’t be shocked if it beats Jackson State for a third time to advance to the SWAC semifinal.
