West Georgia vs. Stetson Prediction

I’m on the over in this one. Not often you’d expect to take an over between two teams with a combined record of 7-29, but the reason the records are where they are is because neither side plays a lick of defense. We would’ve gotten to the over in the first meeting between these two teams had West Georgia scored more than 62 points because Stetson scored 78 on the road and I think that we could get more points here. West Georgia’s allowed 78+ in four of five games since the calendar flipped to 2025 while Stetson’s given up 92+ in three of five in 2025. Give me the over here.
