Southern Jaguars vs. Marquette Golden Eagles Prediction
I’m on Marquette here. Marquette had a decent showing against Albany, but this is still a really strong Marquette team against a Southern team that didn’t show a lick of defense in their season-opening loss to Arkansas. The Golden Eagles usually flatten teams in these early season non-conference games and I think it could be more of the same here. Give me Marquette.
