The Jackson State Tigers finally get a home game, so you should expect a better showing here, especially on the offensive side. The Alcorn State Braves have been on the road all season long, and they can’t get anything going at either end. With that said, Jackson State has shown us very little through 11 games, tough competition or not, and they haven’t played since December 16. It’s the Braves and the points or pass for me.
