Georgia Southern vs William & Mary Prediction

Georgia Southern and William & Mary will be playing their third game in three days, so anything could happen. With that said, I’m going to grab the free bucket with the team that knows how to finish games. That’s the Georgia Southern Eagles. Laying points with the William & Mary Tribe, a team that’s been on the wrong side of two tight games, doesn’t sound wise to me. Give me the Georgia Southern Eagles.
