Appalachian State Mountaineers vs. Georgia State Panthers Prediction

I’m on App State here. I just don’t love what I’ve seen from Georgia State in a lot of their games this season and while you can argue they’ve had an extremely tough schedule, with games against Ole Miss, Memphis, Vandy and JMU, I don’t think it’s going to get easier here. I think App State is better than I gave them credit for coming into the season and I think they get the win here. Give me the Mountaineers on the road here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: App State -1.5
