The Jackson State Tigers and the Florida A&M Rattlers meet in college basketball action from the Al Lawson Jr. Multipurpose Center on Monday night.
The Jackson State Tigers come into this one on the heels of a 55-50 loss to Bethune-Cookman last time out. Gabe Watson leads the Tigers in scoring with 14.3 PPG despite appearing in just seven games this season while Jayveous McKinnie has 12.2 PPG and a team-high 9.8 RPG to lead the Tigers on the glass and make up the other half of the duo of double-digit scorers for Jackson State so far this season. Chance Moore has 7.8 PPG and Jonas James III has 6.6 PPG and a team-high 2.4 APG this season. As a team, Jackson State is averaging 57.6 PPG on 38.3% shooting from the field, 28.7% from three and 63.4% from the foul line while allowing 66.6 PPG on 43.5% shooting from the field and 33.1% from three this season.
The Florida A&M Rattlers will try to build on their four-game winning streak after a 70-68 win over Alcorn State last time out. MJ Randolph leads Florida A&M across the board with 20.6 PPG and 3.6 APG with 2.2 SPG as well as 6.4 RPG this season. Jalen Spear also has 10.3 PPG while DJ Jones has 8.4 PPG with 5.6 RPG and Bryce Moragne has 9 PPG with a team-high 7 RPG to lead the Rattlers on the glass this season. As a team, Florida A&M is averaging 65.1 PPG on 42.4% shooting from the field, 28.8% from three and 73.2% from the foul line while allowing 70.6 PPG on 43.2% shooting from the field and 35.2% from three this season.
Jackson State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games against a team with a winning home record while the under is 6-2 in their last 8 road games. Florida A&M is 4-0 Ats in their last 4 games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 home games.
I get the case to be made either way as both teams records are mainly a product of playing such high competition for the better part of the season so far. However, Florida A&M’s the hotter team winning four straight and they’ve done a lot of their best work at home this season. I think this is a spot where we could take advantage of a mispriced line and as such, I’m going to side with Florida A&M here.
