Jacksonville vs Florida Gulf Coast Prediction
Florida Gulf Coast is going to get the benefit of the doubt because it’s at home, and it beat Jacksonville on the road a couple of weeks ago. I get it. However, you can make a strong argument that Jacksonville is the better team overall, and the Dolphins have seven road wins this season. Florida Gulf Coast has lost three of its last four games, and that includes a bad loss to Eastern Kentucky as a big favorite. Jacksonville has won seven of its last 10 games and will have a chance to beat anybody if those three balls continue to fall. Jacksonville is a top-100 three-point percentage team. Give me the points with Jacksonville.
