Celebration Bowl Predictions, Odds

For the second time in four seasons, MEAC champion South Carolina State and SWAC champion Jackson State will face off in the Celebration Bowl. Last time out, South Carolina State defeated Jackson State 31-10. The Bulldogs held then-Jackson State quarterback Shedeur Sanders to 16 of 36 passes, just 175 yards, one touchdown and even forced him into two interceptions.

However, both teams have changed drastically since then. Both have new head coaches and South Carolina State, in particular, now has a 9-2 record, compared to 6-5 before the 2021 matchup.

First-year South Carolina State head coach Chennis Berry has found success at the FCS level after transferring from Division II school Benedict. Still, the pressure of a bowl game might put a few holes in Berry’s game plan. Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s Celebration Bowl.

Pete Fiutak, College Football News: Jackson State 27, South Carolina State 24

Fiutak writes: “Jackson State is not as good as it was in the Coach Prime era, but the 2021 and 2022 teams both lost. Both teams are explosive, both have great defense, but Jackson State still has a little more power ahead of them with the blitz.”

Gene Clemons, The Analyst: South Carolina State 34, Jackson State 17

Clemons writes: “South Carolina State will have had three weeks since its last game on November 23rd to rest and prepare for the HBCU national championship game, while Jackson State played in (and won) the SWAC conference championship game last Saturday. has. That’s how it is.” It’s also difficult to get emotionally worked up for back-to-back championship games in back-to-back weeks, but when you combine that with a South Carolina State roster full of seniors, it will be too much for the Tigers to overcome.
