Georgia State Panthers (5-4) vs WKU Hilltoppers (4-6)
Saturday, December 26, 2020 at 3:30 pm
At 3:30 pm, in the LendingTree Bowl, our selection is on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers + the points over Georgia State. This is another "offense vs defense" matchup in the Bowls. The Panthers are the offensive-minded team, as they score 32.7 ppg (against foes that give up 27.7), while the Hilltoppers are the defensive-minded squad, as they give up just 18 ppg (against foes that score 24.1 ppg). And, as faithful followers know, in College Football, I will take the points with the better defensive team more often than not. Indeed, post-season favorites of 5 or less points, with defenses that give up more than 3 points than their opponent's defense, have gone 6-29 ATS. The Hilltoppers come into this game off back to back double-digit blowout wins against Florida International and Charlotte. And the Hilltoppers are 24-11 ATS off back to back wins, including 6-0 ATS when priced from +3 to +6 points. Take Western Kentucky. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
