Jacksonville State vs. Southern Mississippi Pick
Point Spread Pick for Jacksonville State vs. Southern Mississippi
- Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles -4 (4 Units)
The Gamecocks and Golden Eagles split their first four games. Southern Mississippi has the edge in this game because they have one of the best passing games in the country, and they’re facing a defense that has been unable to stop the pass so far, giving up more than 275 passing yards per game, so expect them to air the ball out.
Jacksonville State loves to keep the ball on the ground, but they won’t be able to get much going in this game because the Golden Eagles have done a great job of defending the run, giving up less than 130 yards per game on the ground, so expect them to stack the box and force Wimsatt to beat them with his arm, which isn’t going to happen. Go with Southern Mississippi to cover the spread.
