Georgia Southern has a ton of confidence and they have won two games in a row. Two games ago against Coastal Carolina they secured the 26-6 victory and in the last game against Appalachian State they were able to secure the 29-20 victory.

Josh Dallas had a strong game finishing with five catches for 53 yards and a touchdown. Georgia Southen is averaging 28.2 points while their defense is giving up 27.33 points per game. The offense at times has been inconsistent and they are going to need the defense to be strong again here.

Sam Houston State vs Georgia Southern Prediction
This total is too high. Sam Houston State is averaging only 23.2 points per game, but their defense has been strong, and thier defense is going to step up again here. I do expect their defense is going to step up against Georgia Southern, and that is going to be the difference here. It wouldn’t shock me if neither team reached 20 points, and this game is going to stay under the total.
