Jackson State vs Xavier Prediction

The Xavier Musketeers are head and shoulders the more talented team and should win comfortably, but that was also the case against Texas Southern and IU Indianapolis, and they allowed those teams to hang around. Xavier is 0-2 ATS on the season and has failed to cover 8 of its last 10 games. Jackson State just hung around with High Point as massive underdogs and will obviously be the more motivated side given the lack of big games. Give me the points with the Jackson State Tigers on the road.
