Stephen Nover's CFB Tuesday Spread Crusher
(NCAAF) WKU vs. Jacksonville State,
Point Spread: -7.50 | -110.00 WKU (Away)
Result: Loss
Schedule matters. So does quarterback injuries. Factor these elements in and Western Kentucky is worthy of a play.

Western Kentucky is 4-2 with its only losses coming on the road to Ohio State and Troy, perhaps the best team in the Sun Belt Conference. The Hilltoppers rank 45th in scoring at 32.2 points per game. They have a solid QB in Austin Reed.

Jacksonville State has a worse offense despite playing a much easier schedule. The Gamecocks' 5-2 record is deceiving because those wins have come against UTEP, East Tennessee State, Sam Houston State, Eastern Michigan and Middle Tennessee. Twice Jacksonville State has faced tough competition. Both times the Gamecocks lost and failed to cover, losing at home to Liberty, 31-13, and to Coastal Carolina on the road, 30-16.

The Gamecocks have a weak passing game and their two QB's, Logan Smothers and Zion Webb, are questionable.
