Pick

I’m going to take a shot here on the Jaguars. Not a game I’m rushing to bet, but the Jaguars have had a chance to shake off the rust, and while Southern Miss has been the team to beat in the Sun Belt, they split the regular season series with the Jaguars and Southern Miss just really couldn’t get anything going away from home. I’ll lean towards South Alabama here.
