Middle Tennessee vs Jacksonville State Best Bet: Middle Tennessee +20.5

The Gamecocks enter this game as heavy betting favorites at home. And while Jacksonville State has a solid shot to come out on top, winning by 21 or more points is a tall task on its own. Although Middle Tennessee may not come out on top, the Raiders very well could keep this matchup closer than many anticipate and stay under the set spread.

Middle Tennessee vs Jacksonville State Best Total Bet: Under 63.5

Both Jacksonville State and Middle Tennessee have shown some inconsistency on offense to start the year. If either team struggles in the first half, it will be a steep hill to climb to score more than 64 points. That said, a final score of 37-17 seems realistic.

Jacksonville State Best Player Bet: Tre Stewart First Touchdown Scorer +370

The Gamecocks have utilized their rushing attack on offense throughout the season. As a result, running back Tre Stewart has shown out in his first season with the Gamecocks. The North Carolina native has rushed for 472 yards and 10 touchdowns, averaging 5.5 yards per carry this season. With his ability to break off any run for a touchdown mixed with how he’s used in the red zone, Stewart could be in line for a big game against Middle Tennessee.
