Florida A&M at Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Miami 48, Florida A&M 7

Moneyline

PASS.

Even if you find odds, avoid them.

Against the spread

BET FLORIDA A&M +44.5 (-110).

Miami looked impressive in its season-opening win at Florida. Ward is likely the real deal and will continue his torrid pace, but the environment won’t be the same. This is a big spread to cover, and Florida A&M has a QB that, so far, has played turnover-free football.

If Richardson can avoid costly interceptions, the Rattlers should be able to cover. Florida A&M has scored 20-plus points in both games and has a chance to keep things close enough to cover.

Take FLORIDA A&M +44.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET OVER 53.5 (-110).

Much like QB Jaxson Dart at Ole Miss, Ward is an expereinced college QB that should be able to pick many of these lesser-talented programs apart. Ward accounted for 3 of the 5 touchdowns the Hurricanes scored Saturday. He should be able to keep scoring with ease.

For A&M, it has scored 45 points in 2 games. While not as stiff competition, it should find the end zone at least once. Miami gave up over 140 yards on the ground to Florida, so there is some weakness in its defense.

Expect points here, and take OVER 53.5 (-110).

Florida A&M at Purdue odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Florida A&M at Purdue odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 1 Purdue Boilermakers (12-0) welcome the Florida A&M Rattlers (2-8) to Mackey Arena Thursday. Tip is set for 5 p.m. ET (Big Ten Network). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Florida A&M vs. Purdue odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Purdue beat New Orleans 74-53 its last time on the court on Dec. 21, but failed to cover the 30.5-point spread and pushed their season-long against-the-spread (ATS) record to 4-7-1. They have failed to cover 4 in a row and are just 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6.

While Florida A&M will be given virtually zero chance to win, the Rattlers are 5-3 ATS on the season. They are 0-8 on the road though. Florida A&M has covered its last 3 games which featured a playable spread. It lost to Kentucky 88-68, covering as 37-point underdogs, and lost to Louisville 61-55, covering as 18-point underdogs, the game prior.

Florida A&M at Purdue picks and predictions

Prediction

Purdue 81, Florida A&M 48

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s zero value outside of playing a bit on Florida A&M at (+1500) if you enjoy donating money.

Against the spread

BET FLORIDA A&M +36.5 (-115).

Florida A&M has covered 3 straight games against Power 5 opponents. They lost by 20 to Kentucky, covering by 17, by 6 to Louisville, covering by 12, and by 22 to Georgia, covering by 3.5.

This team likely won’t come out on top, but it has 5 players averaging at least 7.5 points per game, so it has versatility in its attack.

Purdue, on the other hand, has been awful ATS this season, just 4-7-1, and it is just 1-3 ATS when given a spread of 20 or more and 0-1 ATS when given a spread of 30 or more.

Considering the season-long trends, back FLORIDA A&M +36.5 (-115).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 132.5 (-115).

The other thing that Purdue does well is hit the projected Under. The Boilermakers are 4-8 O/U this season. They have gone Under in 3 straight games and are 3-5 O/U in their last 8.

Purdue ranks 32nd in points per game allowed (61.5) and rank top 35 in opponents’ FG percentage (39.1%) and opponents’ 3-point FG percentage (27.9%).

The Rattlers are just 4-4 O/U this season and will be going against a lengthy Purdue defense. That said, back the UNDER 132.5 (-115).
