Jackson State vs Florida A&M Prediction
Florida A&M is probably playing its best ball of the season, which includes four straight wins and covers. All four wins came as underdogs so Florida A&M is riding high on the confidence. However, Jackson State did beat Florida A&M twice this season and while it’s hard to win three games against the same opponent in one season, we’re getting points with the team that’s gotten the better of the other. The meeting a month ago wasn’t close. I’ll grab the points with Jackson State.
