Randy’s Free Pick
The Appalachian State Mountaineers are the better team and could win this game by a comfortable margin, but they don’t cover numbers, especially at home. Also, Appalachian State actually loses by an average of 0.7 points in the favorite role. There’s a reason App State isn’t a massive favorite in this spot. Give me Georgia State and the points.
