West Georgia vs. USF Prediction

I’ll back USF here. It’s been a tough go of things for USF so far this season for obvious reasons, but this is a good spot for them to settle down and pick up some momentum against a West Georgia team that’s going to look like a team transitioning to D-I. West Georgia’s been rocked by each of the first two teams they’ve gone up against so far this season and I think that they get taken out here as well. Give me USF.
