Appalachian State was having a below average season about a month ago, but they have won four games in a row and just gave James Madison their first loss. Georgia Southern has dropped three straight games and they will be on the road for this matchup. Both defenses have struggled this season, but the App State defense has been much better in their last three games. The Mountaineers are playing great football right now and I can’t go against them. Take Appalachian State in this matchup.
