The Florida A&M Rattlers (0-3) and the No. 19 Florida Gators (4-0) meet Tuesday at Stephen C. O’Connell Center in Gainesville. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+ / SEC Network+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Florida A&M vs. Florida odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.
The Rattlers are winless through 3 games, taking it on the chin at TCU (105-59 Nov. 4), at SMU (102-73 Nov. 7) and at Maryland (84-53 Nov. 11). FAMU has allowed 102 or more points in 2 of 3 games this season, but it has covered its previous 2 outings despite a losing margin of 30.0 points per game (PPG). The Over is 2-1 to date, too.
The Gators have fired out of the gates with 4 straight victories, including an 87-74 win at Florida State Friday as 5.5-point favorites. Florida is 2-2 ATS in its 4 wins, with an 0-2 ATS mark in 2 games at home, including an 86-62 win Nov. 11 over another SWAC opponent, Grambling. The Under is also 2-0 in 2 games at O’Connell Center.

Florida A&M at Florida picks and predictions
Prediction
Florida 88, Florida A&M 59
Moneyline
Florida (-10000) isn’t worth pursuing, especially since 1-way lines usually have a higher hold.
PASS. Bet the spread and/or total instead.
Against the spread
It takes a little bit of a leap of faith, but play FLORIDA A&M +35.5 (-105) taking the points in Gainesville.
The Rattlers certainly won’t be fazed, as they’ve played in 3 huge arenas already this season, cashing big checks along the way. And FAMU has covered, barely, in the past 2 games.
Florida -35.5 (-115) is 0-2 ATS in a pair of games at home so far, including the 24-point win over Grambling. Look for a similar result here.
Over/Under
UNDER 156.5 (-105) may be the best play on the board.
Florida has cashed low in each of its 2 games on the home floor so far, including its only previous game against a SWAC foe. It has allowed 61.0 PPG at home in the 2 outings, and FAMU is unlikely to put much of a dent in that number.
While the Rattlers cashed high in the first 2 games, it hit the Under in a loss at Maryland last time out, cobbling together just 53 points of offense.
