ANDREW’S FREE PICK

I’ll probably stick with Georgia Southern. The Eagles didn’t play particularly well against a pretty decent James Madison team in their last outing however, so they’ll need a bounce-back effort in this one. Georgia Southern has still been scoring well lately; they’ve hit 67 or more points in five straight games. As for LA-Monroe, they’ve scored 66 or fewer points in three of their last four games, going 2-2 in that time. The Warhawks are certainly talented enough to keep the pace here, but ultimately I like the Eagles better cover-wise.
