Georgia Southern vs Georgia State Prediction 

Georgia Southern comes into this matchup after staying alive with a win over Southern Miss on Wednesday and they will look to stay hot coming into this game. The Eagles are shooting just 42.8% from the field this year, but they have scored at least 73 points in four of their last five games. Georgia State has lost three of its last four games and they are allowing nearly 79 points per game on defense. Both of these teams won once in the regular season series, but Georgia Southern just beat Georgia State to end the regular season. I think Georgia Southern will get the win once again here, but I am taking the over, as both defenses have been rough this entire season.
