North Carolina Central Eagles vs Jackson State Tigers Prediction: Easy game for the Tigers

The North Carolina Central Eagles will battle Jackson State Tigers in the Celebration Bowl this weekend. Jackson Central Eagles find themselves in familiar territory, as they are competing in the celebration bowl for the second consecutive season. Jackson State is preparing for the exit of Deion Sanders to Colorado and this is his final game for the Jackson State Tigers. But they are facing an unfamiliar opponent, so that might be tricky.

The North Carolina Central Eagles have been impressive this season and all credit to their massive offensive unit and they will need that against the almighty Jackson State team. The Tigers ended their season on a high with 4 straight wins. They defeated Tennessee Tech on the final day 20:22 and in their last 5 games , they had 4 wins and 1 loss.

The North Carolina Central Eagles were in a bright mood in the first quarter, winning 10:0, but then they were down 7:3, 7:0 in the second and third quarters. But the final quarter ended in a 6:9 win for the North Carolina Eagles and it gave them the edge on the night.

The Jackson State Tigers come into this match as huge favorites and it's little surprise why. Jackson State Tigers passed all 11 tests and went on to knock out Southern University Jaguars 43:24 in the SWAC Championship match to earn a place in the celebration bowl. Deion Sanders is set to leave after this bowl match and he will be determined to leave on a high as he leads the Jackson State Tigers out for this match.

Jackson State Tigers’s best display in the match against Southern University was in the first quarter, where they scored 26 unreplied points. The visitors won the second and third quarters 7:10 and 10:14 but it was Jackson State that came out with the win.

The Bookmakers are all inclined for the Jackson’s to cover the spread in this match and it is reasonable enough considering the intensity and coordination of the Jackson State Tigers team. They are simply unmatchable and I support them to win with a wide margin in this match.
