    Why it likes it
    • Six-game EPA profile is lopsided, but FAMU's 77-7 Miami loss inflates the margin: excluding Miami, FAMU's other five losses/wins average 21.6-26.8.
    • Conference-game margins are tighter than the headline form: FAMU's four SWAC games average -9.8, while Jackson State's comparable four average +4.0.
    • My blended cover estimate is 48%, versus 43.7% implied by +129; the projection edge is the underdog's inflated public handicap, not the payout.
    • Jackson State averages 39.5 points and +0.256 offensive EPA/play; a clean early lead can turn this into a 14-plus margin.
