Florida A&M has looked solid as of late which included an impressive 70-68 win over Alcorn State and has one of the best players in the SWAC in MJ Randolph. Alabama A&M has been better at home this season, however, this is a team that can really struggle to score the basketball and as I think Florida A&M continues their winning streak, I’m taking the Rattlers to win this pick-em. Good Luck!
