The Georgia Southern Eagles will play the Buffalo Bulls on Tuesday afternoon in the college football Camellia Bowl at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama.
The Georgia Southern Eagles are 6-6 this season after they defeated Appalachian State in double overtime by a score of 51-48 in their last game. Georgia Southern allowed 629 total yards, but was able to force two turnovers on downs in the win. Georgia Southern finished the season, losing three of their last four games, while also allowing at least 36 points in three of those four games. The Georgia Southern offense is averaging 33.7 points per game with 327.8 passing yards per game and 140.8 rushing yards per game. Kyle Vantrease has thrown for 3,901 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions for the Eagles this season.

The Buffalo Bulls are 6-6 this season after they defeated Akron by a score of 23-22 in their last game.

Georgia Southern is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS win. The under is 4-0 in Georgia Southern’s last 4 neutral site games. Buffalo is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games and 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 non-conference games. The over is 4-1 in Buffalo’s last 5 games.
Both of these teams really struggled in their lost four games, and they could have easily lost their last game to knock them out of a bowl game. Both defenses are not good, but the offenses are high-powered and have been able to make up for the poor defensive play. Despite the high scoring teams, I like the under here. The total is currently at 66.5 points, so we only need the defenses to make a few stops. Take the under here.
