Florida A&M Rattlers vs Alcorn State Braves prediction

The Alcorn State Braves beat Florida A&M on the road a couple of weeks ago by 9 points, and now they get a rare home game after spending much of the season on the road. The Florida A&M Rattlers have been a mess all year, they’ve had little success on the road, and they’re 8-13 ATS on the year. I have little use of Florida A&M right now. I’ll lay the points with Alcorn State at home.
