Jax State +3 -120 2.5% play

The market overreacted to early results—Ohio hanging tight with Nebraska before collapsing, and Jax State dropping a tough road opener to North Dakota State. That creates strong value on the Gamecocks as road underdogs.

Jax State holds the clearer talent edge, ranking comfortably ahead of an Ohio squad sitting near the bottom of FBS (129th).

• Gamecock Defense: Anchored by Fred Perry pushing the interior, Clemson transfer Billings bringing high-level coverage, and Fegans locking down outer receivers.

• Ohio Weaknesses: Inexperienced across the board, lacking their past lockdown defense, and severely downgraded at QB post-Parker Navarro.

Take the better roster and grab the 3 points.
