The USF Bulls meet the Florida A&M Rattlers in week 3 college football action from Raymond James Stadium on Saturday.

The Florida A&M Rattlers will come into this one looking to build on their 1-1 record after a 24-7 win over Fort Valley State in their last game. Rasean McKay threw for 176 yards and a touchdown on 12 of 16 passing while Junior Muratovic tossed for 127 yards, a touchdown and 2 interceptions on 14 of 22 passing. Bishop Bonnett led the Rattlers with 9 carries for 69 yards and a touchdown while Xavier Smith had 5 catches for a team-high 73 yards and a scoer while ah’Marae Sheread had a team-high 7 grabs for 55 yards. Kamari Young also added a touchdown grab for the Rattlers. Defensively, BJ Bohler and Ellrie Allen each recorded an interception for Florida A&M.

The USF Bulls will try to rebound from a 42-20 loss at the hands of the Florida Gators in their last game. Timmy McClain has thrown for 209 yards and 2 interceptions on 47.6% passing while Cade Fortin has tossed for 132 yards and a pair of INTs on 50% passing this season. Darrian Felix leads USF with 69 rushing yards this seaso while Jaren Mangham has 55 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns for the Bulls this year. Xavier Weaver leads USF’s receiving group with 4 grabs for 141 yards while Andrew Mims leads the defense with 21 total tackles this season. The Bulls have also combined for 3 interceptions as a team this season.

Florida A&M is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 Saturday road games. USF is 4-2 ATS in their last 6 Saturday home games and 6-12 ATS in their last 18 games as the favorite while the over is 6-2 in their last 8 games overall.

One would think that this could be a favorable spot for USF to finally get in the win column, but I’m not sure I’m buying what they’re selling. The Bulls have looked absolutely atrocious early on so far and even a team like Florida A&M could potentially give the Bulls some issues. Bottom line is that USF doesn’t deserve to be a 3+ TD favorite against anyone. Give me Florida A&M and the points.
