The Rattlers will try to bounce back after losing to Kentucky 88–68 in their previous match. Jordan Tillman is the only other Rattlers' player currently in double digit scoring with 10 PPG, while Jaylen Bates leads the team in scoring and rebounds with 10.9 PPG and 6.9 RPG. The Rattlers are averaging 56.2 PPG as a team this year, while shooting 36.9% from the field, 29.7% from three, and 64.7% from the foul line.
After beating New Orleans 74–53 in their previous game, the Boilermakers will strive to maintain their perfect record. With 22.6 points per game and 13.9 rebounds per game on average for the Boilermakers, Zach Edey is the team's top scorer and rebounder.
Fletcher Loyer is the team's only other double-digit scorer so far this season, with 12.8 points per game and 2.7 assists per game.

Purdue vs Florida A&M Betting Prediction
Although the Rattlers may be battle-tested, they have been suffering losses pretty much the whole season. The Boilermakers, on the other hand, haven't covered a huge line like this since the start of the season.
It is understandable to perceive either side's bottom line. In this game, I believe the Boilermakers will likely cause their fair share of damage, but I'm not sure if the Rattlers will contribute enough to push us above this total. In this one, bet on the under.
Pick: Under 132.5 (-110)
