Kennesaw State vs Jacksonville State Prediction

Kennesaw State will enter this game with some sort of confidence after beating Jacksonville State by double digits in early January. However, this time the game is at the Pete Mathews Coliseum where Jacksonville State has won 12 of its 13 tries. Jacksonville State is also a profitable 18-9 ATS on the season. Yes, Kennesaw State is a solid 17-10 ATS, but if you’re grabbing the small number, you’re saying you like the Owls’ chances of winning outright. I’m not standing in front of Jacksonville State at home. I’ll lay the small chalk with Jacksonville State.
