Appalachian State vs Georgia Southern Prediction

I considered the points with the Appalachian State Mountaineers because they became bowl-eligible with a victory. However, App State is 1-4 SU on the road this season. The Georgia Southern Eagles are simply the better team with a ground game that can give a bad App State defense fits, and it's senior night for a roster that has 28 seniors. We're not being asked to lay anything crazy. Give me the Georgia Southern Eagles.
