Pick
I’m sticking with Alcorn State in this one. The Braves are one of the teams to beat in the MEAC and I don’t see Florida A&M really doing anything to threaten that position for the Braves. Florida A&M hasn’t really been all that effective at home and I just think this is a spot where even on the road, Alcorn State flexes some muscle and gets a double-digit win and cover here.
