The Jackson State Tigers will face off against the North Carolina Central Eagles in the Celebration Bowl.

Coached by NFL legend Deion Sanders, Jackson State posted a perfect 12-0 record this season. The Tigers' last game was their 43-24 victory over Southern to capture the SWAC title. 

NC Central comes into this matchup with a 9-2 resume and on the heels of a four-game winning streak to close the regular season. Central's two losses came to Campbell and to South Carolina State.

Which squad gets one more W in the win column to close out the college football season — Deion's Tigers or the NCCU Eagles?

Here's everything you need from a betting perspective on the game between Jackson State and NCCU, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under and expert pick (odds via FOX Bet).

Jackson State vs. NCCU (Noon ET Saturday, Dec. 17, ABC)

Point spread: Jackson State -14 (Jackson State favored to win by more than 14 points, otherwise NCCU covers)
Moneyline: Jackson State -667 favorite to win (bet $10 to win $11.50 total); NCCU +425 underdog to win (bet $10 to win $52.50 total)
Total scoring Over/Under: 55.5 points scored by both teams combined

Pick via FOX Sports College Football Analyst RJ Young:

This will be a stress test for the JSU Tigers whose coach Deion Sanders has already begun building his program at Colorado. However, NC Central got trounced by 30 by Campbell. 

Campbell is a common foe for the Eagles and the Tigers, and the Tigers defeated Campbell by just a score.

JSU lost this game last year and its chance to claim the Black College Football National Championship outright. 

The point spread of 14 is a big number. Take the points.

PICK: NC Central (+14 at FOX Bet) to lose by fewer than 14 points (or win outright)
