I get why Tulsa’s favored, getting the FBS rub from bookmakers, but this line should tell you everything you need to know. Tulsa hasn’t looked very good for much of this season so far, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Jacksonville State’s always a tough out regardless of the opponent and they play solid defense that their first two opponents haven’t been able to figure out yet. Don’t be shocked if JSU wins this game outright. Give me the Gamecocks of Jacksonville State and the points.
