Louisiana vs Georgia State Prediction
The Georgia State Panthers haven’t won a game since November 27 so it’s weird seeing them as a favorite. However, we’re not being asked to lay much and if Georgia State is going to end the drought, it would be here at home. Georgia State has seen 3 of its 4 wins this season come at home. The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns have lost 7 of their last 10 games, and they don’t shoot the ball well enough to scare opponents. If Georgia State is going to get in the win column, it would be here. If not, it’s going to be a long, long next couple of months. Only laying a bucket. Give me Georgia State.
