Jacksonville State Gamecocks vs Sam Houston Bearkats Betting Prediction
Now we have the Jacksonville State Gamecocks vs Sam Houston Bearkats Betting Prediction for both teams.
When you look at both sides of the ball, Jacksonville State clearly holds the edge. Their elite rushing attack should find success against a Sam Houston defense allowing over 148 yards per game on the ground, while their disciplined, physical defense should easily contain the Bearkats’ stagnant offense. Expect Jacksonville State to dictate tempo, control the clock, and force Sam Houston into uncomfortable third-down situations. While the Bearkats may have a few defensive stands early, their lack of offensive production will likely give the Gamecocks plenty of opportunities to pull away late. Jacksonville State’s October dominance and superior efficiency on both sides of the ball make them the more complete and confident team heading into this matchup.

Jacksonville State enters this contest with a mixed 2–5 record in their last seven games but has consistently shown dominance against Conference USA opponents, boasting an impressive 13–1 record in their last 14 matchups within the league. Their offensive identity is built around a strong ground game, ranking sixth nationally in rushing yards with an average of 261.6 per game. This relentless rushing attack has been the cornerstone of their offense, allowing them to control possession and wear down defenses. Even when their passing game falters — averaging just 143.8 yards per outing — the Gamecocks’ ability to stay balanced through creative play-calling and dual-threat quarterback play keeps defenses guessing. Their October track record is also noteworthy; Jacksonville State has gone a perfect 6–0 against the spread in their last six October games, suggesting that this program knows how to peak in midseason form.

Jacksonville State Gamecocks vs Sam Houston Bearkats Betting Prediction: Sam Houston
On the other hand, Sam Houston State has found themselves in a rough stretch, struggling to find rhythm or consistency. The Bearkats have dropped five straight games against the spread and continue to face offensive woes, averaging only 15.0 points per game — ranking them near the bottom of the national standings. Their offensive struggles stem largely from inefficiency in both the run and pass game, posting just 177 passing yards and 100.6 rushing yards per contest. While the Bearkats’ defense has been tested heavily, giving up 41.6 points per game, their offense’s inability to sustain drives has compounded those problems. Trends also paint a concerning picture for Sam Houston backers: they are 1–7 against the spread in their last eight October games and have hit the UNDER in five straight home contests. The total has also gone UNDER in seven of their last eight games against Conference USA opponents — a reflection of their low-scoring, grind-it-out style of play that has failed to keep pace with more explosive teams.
