Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs Jackson State Prediction
In this Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs Jackson State Prediction, Jackson State is coming as -1.5 home favorites. Arkansas-Pine Bluff has been the better team this season but has been struggling lately with a 1-4 record in its last 5 games and is 0-5 against the spread. Jackson State has not been playing much better, as they have three consecutive losses and I don’t trust either team in this matchup. Both teams are 9-3 to the under in their last 12 games combined and their previous meeting this season also went under the total. I expect another low-scoring affair, so take the under 153.5 points in this one.
