As two fierce rivals in the SWAC conference, Jackson State and Alcorn State are set to face off on January 4th in what is sure to be a thrilling matchup. Both teams have had their fair share of success this season, making this game even more enticing for fans and bettors alike.

When it comes to predicting the outcome of this game, it’s always a tough call. Jackson State has been dominant on defense, holding opponents to just 65.4 points per game, while Alcorn State has been impressive on offense, averaging 76.2 points per game. This clash of styles will surely make for an interesting battle on the court.

In terms of the spread, Jackson State may have the edge here as they have been more consistent throughout the season. With their stifling defense and ability to control the pace of the game, they could potentially cover the spread in this matchup.

As for the total, both teams have shown the ability to put up points, so we could see a high-scoring affair. However, with Jackson State’s defense and Alcorn State’s offensive firepower, it’s difficult to predict exactly how many points will be scored.

Overall, this game is shaping up to be a close one, with both teams having their own strengths and weaknesses. It could go either way, but if forced to make a prediction, I’d lean towards Jackson State covering the spread and the total going over. But as always, anything can happen in college basketball, so be sure to tune in on January 4th to see how it all unfolds.
