Charlotte vs Georgia State Prediction 

Charlotte comes into this matchup after losing three of their last four games, and they have allowed 75+ points in all three of those losses. The 49ers are only shooting 42% from the field this year, but they will face a bad Georgia State defense. The Panthers have allowed 81 and 105 points in their last two games, and they are allowing over 78 points per game this year. I am not eager to put my faith in either one of these teams, but I will back the better defense. Take Charlotte to win.
