Jackson State vs. Florida A&M

The overall won-lost record is just 14-15. But there are reasons why No. 2 seed Florida A&M is favored against seventh-seed Jackson State in this SWAC quarterfinal conference tournament matchup. The Rattlers have the better league mark at 11-7, to the Tigers' 10-8. Florida A&M is peaking at the right time, too. The Rattlers have won and covered in each of their last four games, all as an underdog.
