#108 ASA PLAY ON Jacksonville State -20.5 over MTSU, Wednesday at 7:30 PM ET - Jacksonville State has been the hottest team in CUSA over the last month. They’ve won 3 straight by a combined score of 161 to 44. They’ve outgained those 3 opponents (all comparable in our power ratings to this MTSU team) 1,616 to 866. They’ve won each of those games by at least 37 points and they are healthy coming off a bye week. Now they face a bad MTSU team that we have power rated as the 4th worst team in FBS. The Blue Raiders just played Kennesaw State (who we have rated dead last in FBS) and won a tight game 14-5. The yardage was about dead even in that game but KSU had 2 turnovers (0 for MTSU). Just 2 weeks ago, Jacksonville State beat that Kennesaw State team 63-24 and outgained them by over 300 yards. We don’t see any way this Middle Tennessee offense can keep up in this game. They are averaging just 13.8 PPG (minus their 1 FCS game) and facing a Jacksonville State offense that is putting up an average of 49 PPG over their last 4. We don’t see that changing here as they face an MTSU defense that ranks 129th in total defense, 132nd in YPP allowed, and 130th in scoring defense. The Blue Raiders closest loss this season was by 17 points and the average score in their losses is 44-14. Another blowout on the way Wednesday night.
