Southern vs Florida A&M Prediction
In this Southern vs Florida A&M Prediction, Southern is coming as -3.5 road favorites. Southern has been the slightly better team this season but both teams have almost the same number of defeats and Southern has been atrocious on the road with just one win in ten road games. They have been struggling lately, as they are 1-6 in their last 7 games and 1-3 against the spread, while Florida A&M has four straight defeats, so I see no value on either side. Both teams are 8-2 to the over in their last 10 games combined, as they both have been struggling defensively, allowing 166 points per game combined. Take the over 153.5 in this one.
