Jacksonville vs Siena Prediction
The Siena Saints just don’t have the offensive horses to trust against good teams, as they’re shooting 40.2 percent from the field on the season, and they’ve scored 60 or fewer points in three straight games. The Jacksonville Dolphins are coming off a bad loss to Mercer, but the game was competitive and a win over Virginia Tech was much more telling. Jacksonville is the better team, no matter how you slice it. Give me the Dolphins and whatever the line is.
