Why Prairie View A&M is a Good Bet versus Florida A&M
After losing 5 of their first 8 games, the Panthers pick it up in their final 3 matchups, beating Arkansas-Pine Bluff 38-14, taking down Southern 27-21, and getting by one of the better squads in the SWAC, Alabama State, 21-14.
The face Prairie View won their final 3 games implies they’re much better than they were when Florida A&M beat them 45-7. Prairie View will be looking to use their improved defense to contain the Rattlers’ excellent offense.

Why Florida A&M is a Good Bet versus Prairie View A&M
Florida A&M has been the best time in the SWAC since day one. The Rattlers show a single loss on their record, and it came against the D-1 South Florida Bulls in Florida A&M’s second game of the season.
The Rattler’s offense is fantastic. It converts third downs at close to 40%, making Florida A&M one of the most efficient third down teams in Division II College Football.
Florida A&M’s defense is also good. The Rattlers allowed just 5 teams to score more than 10 points. Heading into the SWAC title game, the Florida A&M Rattlers are playing unbelievable football.

Florida A&M versus Prairie View A&M Final Betting Prediction
The Florida A&M Rattlers have been one of Division II’s top teams since the season began. Even against South Florida, the Rattlers impressed by scoring 24 points against the Bulls.
But although Florida A&M looks impossible to beat, D-2 conferences are different than D-1 conferences. Improvement means a ton on the Division II level.
So we can’t look past the fact Prairie View A&M won their last three games. We also can’t look past the fact that Prairie View primarily won those games behind an excellent defense. In addition, it’s hard to see Florida A&M not entering this matchup overconfident.
It would be difficult for any team to overlook an opponent they beat 45-7 earlier in the season. All of these factors add up to a possible Panthers’ upset win. Roll the dice on Prairie View A&M to exact revenge.
