Jacksonville vs Mercer Prediction
The Jacksonville Dolphins have proven themselves early this season as they covered a game against Florida and just upset Virginia Tech as a 14-point underdog. The Mercer Bears gave South Carolina somewhat of a scare, but their offense has come and gone overall this season, and that’s not ideal going up against a proven and battle-tested Jacksonville squad. The line is reasonable. I’ll lay the points with the Jacksonville Dolphins, as you can’t help but be impressed with what they’ve shown so far.
