Take #304 Jacksonville St over Western Kentucky
(NCAAF) WKU vs. Jacksonville State,
Point Spread: 7.50 | -105.00 Jacksonville State (Home)
Result: Win
Western Kentucky will travel to face Jacksonville State in another midweek Conference USA clash Tuesday night. These two teams reside toward the top of the league standings, as both will look to finish the regular season with the best record in the conference. It could have been a key matchup in terms of postseason prognostications, but Jacksonville State isn't eligible for postseason play due to NCAA rules for programs transitioning from FCS to FBS. While the unknown around the Jacksonville State quarterback situation has caused this line to move in the favor of the Hilltoppers, I like taking the home underdogs here. The Gamecocks defense is highly capable of slowing down WKU and keeping this game close. Offensively, Jacksonville State's rushing game will be able to take advantage of this poor WKU rushing defense to help it move the ball down the field. Even with the injuries, I like taking the Gamecocks to cover this full-touchdown spread at home as they look to avoid their second home loss in the last two weeks.
