The Appalachian State Mountaineers meet the Georgia Southern Eagles on Saturday in week 13 Sun Belt college football action in the Deeper than Hate rivalry at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

The Eagles are 8-3 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. The Mountaineers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The over is 5-2 in Eagles last 7 road games. The under is 12-5 in Mountaineers last 17 games in November. The home team is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

The Georgia Southern Eagles don’t do much of anything right, but they are a top-25 rushing team in the country, which is key for success on the road and in the underdog role. Georgia Southern has also had covering success against quality teams, which includes hanging around with BYU last week. The Appalachian State Mountaineers are comfortably the better team here, but they haven’t exactly blown the doors off teams this season, and they can allow teams to hang around. This is a rivalry. Give me the points.
