Jacksonville State at Murray State

Murray State got off to a sluggish start at 4-4, but once again is headed for the top of the OVC as the Racers are now 15-2 in their last 17. They are a good team, but lack the offensive explosiveness that saw them obliterating opponents a year ago with 16 wins by 20 or more points. That total this year sits at just four as we wind down the regular season. Jacksonville State was 1-18 in their first 19 games vs div-1 teams, but they have grown in the last couple of weeks where they have now been a lot more competitive and respectable at 3-3 in their last six. They have not lost by more than 14 points in any of their last ten games. Murray, without the explosiveness offensively, stand at 1-6 ATS in their last seven as a favorite of 13 or more. I like Jacksonville State here.
