In this Grambling vs Jackson State Prediction, Grambling is coming as -2.5 road favorites. Grambling has been the better team this season but they have been terrible on the road with just one win in 10 road games. They are also coming off three consecutive losses and are 1-4 against the spread in their last 5, while Jackson State is 5-2 in its last 7 games and 3-1 against the spread, while being very strong at home, with a 3-1 record. Even though Jackson State’s numbers have been far worse, I like them as home dogs in this spot, given home Grambling has been playing lately. Take Jackson State and get the +2.5 points in this one.
