We've got Wednesday night action in Conference USA, with the red-hot Jacksonville State Gamecocks playing host to the Blue Raiders of Middle Tennessee State. The books don't think this'll be close, and I'm inclined to agree.

After a rough start to the season, the Rich Rodriguez-coached hosts have righted the ship. In their last three games, Jacksonville State has outscored opponents 161-44. To be fair, they haven't faced teams of great stature, but it's not like a juggernaut is coming to town on Wednesday night, either.

Middle Tennessee State won ugly last week, topping Kennesaw State 14-5. At 0-6, Kennesaw State may be the worst team in the country, and they still limited MTSU to less than 300 total yards. The going gets much, much tougher Wednesday night, and I think this one will be over early.

20.5 points is a lot of points, but I think it reflects the talent disparity between the two squads. Give me Jacksonville State laying the points as we look to bump up the bankroll Wednesday night.
