Florida A&M @ Alabama A&M

Current Records: Florida A&M 7-11; Alabama A&M 4-13

What to Know

The Florida A&M Rattlers have enjoyed the comforts of home their last two games, but now they must head out on the road. The Rattlers and the Alabama A&M Bulldogs will face off in an SWAC battle at 5 p.m. ET Saturday at Elmore Gymnasium. Florida A&M should still be riding high after a victory, while Alabama A&M will be looking to right the ship.

Florida A&M came out on top in a nail-biter against the Jackson State Tigers on Monday, sneaking past 67-64.

Meanwhile, things couldn't have gone much worse for Alabama A&M as they lost 72-48 to the Prairie View A&M Panthers on Monday.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Florida A&M is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently five-for-five against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Rattlers are now 7-11 while the Bulldogs sit at 4-13. A pair of offensive stats to keep an eye on: Florida A&M is 39th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 65.2 on average. Alabama A&M has experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 36.70% percent of their shots, which is the 358th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
