The 2024 Celebration Bowl is a rematch three years in the making.

South Carolina State handed Jackson State (with Deion Sanders leading the team at the time) a 31-10 defeat in 2021. The Tigers would love revenge, but the Bulldogs are 2.5-point favorites ahead of Saturday’s battle at Noon ET from Mercedes-Benz Stadium on ABC.

Jackson State vs. South Carolina State touchdown predictions

Irv Mulligan anytime first-half touchdown (+175) ⭐⭐⭐

Jackson State running back Irv Mulligan is getting the shortest anytime touchdown odds for Saturday’s matchup while trading at -163 to score. That gives him an implied probability of 61.98% to record at least one touchdown.

I’d rather take the plus-money price on him to score in the first half, as he'll be a significant part of the team’s game plan. Mulligan has scored 11 touchdowns this season, including 10 over his past eight games. 

The Tigers need to lean on him early and often to win. Rob Paul agrees in his Jackson State vs. South Carolina State prediction.

Best odds: +175 via bet365 | Implied probability: 36.36%

Caden High anytime touchdown (+130) ⭐⭐

South Carolina State boasted the best scoring offense in the MEAC this year, averaging 35.5 points per game. The Bulldogs found more success through the air, leading the conference in passing yards (272.8) per game.

Receiver Caden High emerged as a top target, leading the team with seven touchdown receptions. He's scored five touchdowns over his past six games, a stretch with 23 catches. 

I’m betting on the Georgia native to find the end zone in Atlanta.

Best odds: +130 via bet365 | Implied probability: 43.48%

Kazarius Adams first-touchdown scorer (+650) ⭐

South Carolina State running back Kazarius Adams is -110 to score a touchdown on Saturday. He certainly comes into this matchup with momentum after scoring three times against Norfolk State.

But I’m not interested in paying minus odds for that prop, and bet365 is the only book offering a touchdown price for Adams. That’s why a dart throw on Adams’ +650 price to score the first touchdown is much more appealing.

Best odds: +650 via bet365 | Implied probability: 13.33%
