Delaware vs JSU prediction

Delaware vs JSU best bet: Jacksonville State moneyline (+124)

The Jacksonville State Gamecocks look poised to notch another home win behind a relentless running attack and national rushing leader Cam Cook.

Jacksonville State averages nearly 280 yards per game on the ground, and Cook’s power and breakaway speed have overwhelmed every defense he’s faced. 

Cook and the Gamecocks' physical dominance should continue against a Delaware Blue Hens defensive group that allows 154 rushing yards per game and 64 plays of 10+ yards. 

It’s Delaware’s vulnerability against explosive, potent offenses that should lead Jacksonville State to victory.

Delaware has been world-beaters as the underdog, but has lost both times as a favorite, and meets a Jacksonville State group that’s undefeated at home. 

Cook and the Gamecocks are coming off a well-earned road victory over Sam Houston. A victory tonight keeps Jacksonville State in the C-USA championship hunt, and I’m betting they beat Delaware. 

Delaware vs JSU same-game parlay

Jacksonville State has cleared its team total in four of five, while Delaware has allowed 28+ points in three of its previous four games.

This should stay Under the total because Jacksonville State’s run-heavy style shortens games. At the same time, Delaware’s pass-heavy attack faces a Gamecocks defense capable of generating pressure and limiting big passing plays.
