Jackson State football has to rebound from last week's loss with a game against Florida A&M on Oct. 17 at Mississippi Veterans Memorial Stadium.
JSU (5-1, 2-1 SWAC) lost 45-38 at Grambling last week for its first loss of the season. The Tigers had a 38-35 lead with the ball after a Grambling turnover with six minutes to play, but sandwiched a Grambling touchdown with a turnover and a punt to lose the advantage and the game.
Florida A&M (2-4, 1-1) earned a 28-27 win at Alabama State on Oct. 9 for its first conference win of the season.

Jackson State football vs Florida A&M predictions, picks, odds
- Jackson State 30, Florida A&M 21: "Regardless of who's at quarterback, Jackson State's run game should be enough to carry the Tigers to a win, just like it did last year against the Rattlers. However, if JSU's pass defense continues to give up big plays, the Tigers could find themselves in a close game for the third straight week." (Pick by Clarion Ledger beat reporter Tia Reid)
