Jacksonville vs Lipscomb Prediction

In this Jacksonville vs Lipscomb Prediction, Lipscomb is coming as -12 home favorites. Lipscomb has been the better team this season and have been undefeated at home, while Jacksonville has been terrible on the road and this will be their 9th road game in 14 games played. They are 1-4 in their last 5 games and 0-5-1 against the spread in their last 6 and have an inferior offense, so I expect the hosts to get the job done in this matchup. Take Lipscomb and lay the points at home.
