Rich Rod will have his team ready to go and he likes to keep his foot on the gas, especially coming off a bye week, healthy and rested. Expect Jacksonville State to score early and often against a poor MDST defense that can’t stop anything. They will be able to run and pass on the Blue Raiders who are only averaging 17 points in their last three games while the Gamecocks average 58.5 points per game versus CUSA opponents and 6.9 yards per play. MDST is giving up over 35 points to opponents on the road while the Blue Raiders have issues with turning the ball over with a -4 turnover rate on the road. This should be a one sided affair so lay the points. MDST is 2-7 ATS versus conference opponents. JSU is 3-0 ATS as a favorite of 10.5 to 21 points in the last two seasons and they are 3-1 ATS off a bye week.

Best bet: lay the points with Jacksonville State.
