Preview: Jacksonville State Gamecocks at Ohio Bobcats projection
Jacksonville State Gamecocks visit Ohio Bobcats in NCAA Football on Saturday, September 12, 2026. Our model projects JVST 24 – OHIO 25, a 1-point edge to Ohio Bobcats. DraftKings currently has OHIO -1.5 with a total of 49.5.
The only inputs are final scores and schedule dates from the current and prior season, opponent-adjusted, plus the live DraftKings spread and total. 13 completed home-side and 16 completed away-side games are on file, worth 0.69 weighted games on the thinner side after recency decay and a discount on prior-season results. Because that history is graded severe, the projected score is blended 95% toward the DraftKings number of -1.5 / 49.5, which sat 1.261 points from what the completed scores alone implied.
This is a model projection, not an official tracked recommendation. The model rates it unrated, so no side is published and it is not eligible for a tracked pick or a Covered Select. Reasons on file: only 0.69 weighted games of history for the thinner side; team form is not measurable yet; score anchored 95% to the DraftKings number (-1.5 / 49.5); unrated: the history behind this projection is insufficient, so the score is a market-anchored projection rather than a recommendation.
How the model got here
- Projected score: 25 – 26 (away – home).
- Current DraftKings number used: spread -1.5, total 50.5, and the projected score is blended 95% toward it.
- Completed games on file: 13 for the home side and 16 for the away side, worth 0.69 weighted games on the thinner side after recency decay.
- Before anchoring, the projection built from those completed scores sat 1.2 points from the market.
- Model rating: unrated — only 0.69 weighted games of history for the thinner side; team form is not measurable yet; score anchored 95% to the DraftKings number (-1.5 / 50.5); unrated: the history behind this projection is insufficient, so the score is a market-anchored projection rather than a recommendation. No side is published and it is not eligible for a tracked pick or a Covered Select.
