South Alabama vs Georgia State Prediction
The Georgia State Panthers haven’t won a game since late November, and they’ve lost three times already at home. Georgia State doesn’t play a lick of defense, and backing the Panthers with any sort of confidence isn’t happening these days. The South Alabama Jaguars should have a field day against this Georgia State defense. South Alabama is also coming off a game against a non division one team where it topped 100 points, which adds to the confidence. I want nothing to do with Georgia State. I’ll lay the points with South Alabama on the road.
