Jacksonville State Football Odds For First FBS Season​

BetMGM

There will be 133 schools playing college football at the FBS level during the 2023 college football season.

That’s because two schools – Jacksonville State and Sam Houston – are transitioning up from the FCS level. The 2023 season will be their very first (transitional) year at the FBS level. No more fun FCS vs. FBS upsets for either squad.

In case you’ve got an appetite to bet on Jacksonville State, here are a couple of quick notes on their upcoming odds slate.

Jacksonville State 2023 Win Total​

Jacksonville State has a win total of 4.5, with -135 juice to the under, for the 2023 college football season.

Jacksonville State vs. UTEP Odds​

At BetMGM, Jacksonville State is currently a 2.5-point home favorite against UTEP in its Week 0 season-opener for the 2023 college football season.

Sam Houston Football Odds For First FBS Season​

BetMGM

FCS football powerhouse James Madison began its long-awaited transition to FBS football in 2022. The Dukes quickly made waves by winning the Sun Belt’s Eastern division. (Well, kind of.)

Now, another familiar FCS brand is beginning its transition toward FBS football: Sam Houston. The Bearkats have been a playoff staple over the last decade and seized a national championship in the (admittedly weird) 2021 spring season – beating both JMU and North Dakota State along the way.

Yes, both Sam Houston and Jacksonville State will play their first year of FBS football in 2023. From now on, if either program is involved in any FCS vs. FBS upsets, they’ll be on the wrong side of them.

For those interested in the handicapping side of things, here’s a quick look at some early Sam Houston odds at the FBS level.

Sam Houston 2023 Win Total​

Sam Houston has a win total of 3.5, with -140 juice to the over, for the 2023 college football season.

Sam Houston vs. BYU Odds​

At BetMGM, Sam Houston is currently a 23.5-point underdog at BYU in its Week 1 season-opener for the 2023 college football season.

That game will also be BYU’s first game as a member of the Big 12.
