The Florida A&M Rattlers aren’t a good basketball team, and I’m not thrilled to lay chalk with them against anybody, especially on the road. However, the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils are easily one of the worst teams in the country yet again, and they don’t cover enough numbers despite being big underdogs every contest. Mississippi Valley State does nothing well on either side of the floor, especially defensively. It’s Florida A&M or pass for me.
