1. Jackson State vs South Carolina State: Cricket Celebration Bowl
LINE Jackson State -10
ATS PICK Jackson State
Let’s just start with the basics here.
Seriously. You think Deion Sanders – Coach Prime – is about to let his team come into this game flat?
You think after the big day he and the Jackson State program had on the Early Signing Period portion of the recruiting season that his team won’t feast off of the momentum?
South Carolina State is okay.
Head coach Oliver Pough is a legend, his team is bringing a great defense that forces a whole lot of mistakes, and it’s coming to the party with an offensive line that doesn’t allow much of anything in the backfield.
And if you think Sanders and his team is bringing an attitude, that’s nothing compared to what the Bulldogs will arrive with considering all the attention being paid to the other side of the field.
The problem is that Jackson State’s defense is just too good.
The Tigers are No. 1 in the FCS in plays sacks and tackles for loss, No. 2 in total defense, and No. 3 in scoring defense.
This team attacks, attacks, and attacks, and the South Carolina State offensive front is just okay in pass protection.
Jackson State will make this far too interesting for your liking with a few giveaways, but when it has to, that defense is going to rise up and produce.
