Georgia Southern vs Appalachian State Prediction
Appalachian State is coming off bad losses to Marshall and James Madison, but I want nothing to do with Georgia Southern. The Georgia Southern Eagles is piling up the losses and has failed to cover 9 of its last 10 games. That includes losses to Texas State, Coastal Carolina, and Louisiana. Georgia Southern just can’t get out of its own way and now goes into Boone, where the Mountaineers have won 10 times. This line is what it is for a reason. Georgia Southern is going nowhere fast. I’ll lay the points.
