Jacksonville State Gamecocks vs. FIU Panthers Betting Preview
The Jacksonville State Gamecocks have had quite the season so far. The win was their third by a touchdown or less this season. The two losses so far in 2023 for the Gamecocks came on the road at Coastal Carolina and then at home to the Flames of Liberty.
Jacksonville State is winning games with their ability to run the football. The Gamecocks are one of the best in the nation on the ground. Looking at one of their college football players, Malik Jackson, is helping an offense to carry for more than 211 yards per game.
Jackson has 578 yards and four touchdowns on 104 carries this season. The Gamecocks quarterback Logan Smothers is third on the team with 253 rushing yards and has six touchdowns as well.
Jacksonville State has three of their last four on the road. After this game, the Gamecocks are at South Carolina before hosting Louisiana Tech and finishing on the road at the New Mexico State Aggies. The Jacksonville State Football standings in the conference will spend their final few weeks and if anyone can beat Liberty.
FIU’s Path to Redemption
For Florida International, the win last week was huge because it was their first conference win. The Panthers had dropped three straight games to Liberty, New Mexico State, and UTEP before the win. The win also put them at 4-4 on the season, which means just two of the next four wins would put them bowl-eligible.
In the win, Keyone Jenkins ran for a touchdown in the first overtime, then threw one to Kris Mitchell to take the lead and win the game. Jenkins finished with 190 passing yards and a touchdown, while Mitchell caught eight passes for 75 yards.
The Panthers play this game and then are on the road for the next two games. Florida International heads to Middle Tennessee and then Arkansas before coming home and hosting Western Kentucky. FIU Panthers Football odds will likely see them as the underdog in each of those final games.
Jacksonville State Gamecocks vs. FIU Panthers Betting Picks
Barring any late additions to the college football injury report, coach Rodriguez is going to have his Gamecocks ready for this game. The Gamecocks know they still have an outside chance at the conference title and do not want to go to Miami and slip up here.
The Gamecocks just find ways to win. The 8-point spread is pretty good by the oddsmakers, as they will likely not blow the Panthers out. But, with the confidence the Gamecocks have, we are going to take them to cover that spread.
When looking at the Jacksonville State vs FIU odds, the final betting pick for this game is the Jacksonville State Gamecocks -8 over the Florida International Panthers. Enjoy the game!
