Stetson vs Jacksonville Prediction

Stetson has little to no road success and isn’t a team I’m excited to back in general. However, this is a lot of points to lay on a struggling Jacksonville side. Jacksonville has lost 7 of its last 10 games and is 12-15 ATS on the season. Say what you want about Stetson, but it beat Jacksonville earlier this month as a 2.5-point underdog. The underdog is 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 games between Stetson and Jacksonville. I’ll grab the points if forced to pick a contest.
