Georgia State vs Arkansas State Prediction
Arkansas State is a below-average team at both ends of the field and not a team I’m excited to back. Georgia State has a clear edge on the offensive side, and while there are issues defensively, it at least competes on that side. Georgia State is also 5-1 ATS on the season and has covered six of its last seven games overall. These are two teams in different weight classes. Even on the road, I’m going to lay the small number with Georgia State.
