Youngstown State Penguins vs. Georgia Southern Eagles Prediction

I’m on Youngstown State here. Georgia Southern’s played the tougher schedule side-by-side, but I just feel like Youngstown State is the better team here. The Penguins just haven’t been able to get the bounces and I think this is a buy low spot on Youngstown State. Give me the Penguins here.
