Florida A&M vs Iowa State Picks and Prediction – 12/17/2023

In a clash of contrasting climates, the Florida A&M Rattlers and Iowa State Cyclones are set to heat up the court in a Holiday Season showdown that blends the warmth of the Sunshine State with the whirlwind intensity of the Cyclones. Get in on all the action this weekend with our free college basketball picks.

The Florida A&M Rattlers (2-5) face a tall task on the road in this game. After losing their first five games, The Rattlers have won two straight against Presbyterian and LeMoyne-Owen. Florida A&M struggles to keep a lid on opponents' offenses, and have given up 80+ points in 4 games. Giving up this many points is a certain blowout for The Rattlers, as they only score 69.7 points per night. Love Bettis (15.3 PPG) and Keith Lamar (14.3 PPG) are talented players in The SWAC, but will have a hard time matching up with Iowa State.

The Iowa State Cyclones (8-2) have won three-straight games and host Florida A&M Sunday in Ames. The Cyclones are looking to be a threat in The Big 12 this season, and they very well could be. Keshon Gilbert (16.3 PPG) has been electric on offense, while Tamin Lipsey (15.1 points 6.3 rebounds) has been getting it done all over the court. Expect Iowa State to roll on Sunday.
