Randy’s Pick
You can make a case for either side here, as both Jacksonville State and New Mexico State have been winning and covering numbers. With that said, New Mexico State is at home, hasn’t lost since September 23 and its defense has made positive strides during this winning stretch. It’s a toss up and a must-watch CFB game overall, but getting free points with the home team feels like where the value is at.
