4* Free 2024 Week 9 NCAA Betting Prediction: Jacksonville State -21.5
Middle Tennessee is struggling. They’ve lost five of their last six, and are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games. Even more concerning? They’re 0-9 straight up in their last nine road contests.
Jacksonville State is favored by 21.5 points, and with that kind of home field dominance and Middle Tennessee’s road woes, it’s no surprise the spread is hefty.
We have Jacksonville State winning this matchup against Middle Tennessee with a projected final score of 44-20. The Gamecocks are the -21.5 point favorites heading into the game, and we expect them to cover the spread. For bettors, the line sits at -21.5 for the Gamecocks, and they’re poised to cover.
With the over/under line set at 63.5 points, our projection of 64 total points suggests laying off the total in this one. I don’t have a lean either way.
With the Blue Raiders’ defensive struggles and Jacksonville State’s consistency at home, this one could turn into a runaway. Total points are set at 63.5, so expect plenty of action on both sides, but keep an eye on Jacksonville State to control this one.
Get your bets in early, because this matchup has the makings of a Gamecocks clinic!
