Georgia Southern vs Appalachian State Prediction
Appalachian State has been the better team this season, but recent losses to Marshall and Georgia State do create some pause. Georgia Southern has seen nine of 14 wins this season come at home, and the offense has moments that make the Eagles a sneaky team night to night. Georgia Southern hung around with App State less than a week ago, forcing overtime as an 8.5-point underdog. In fact, each of the last three games between Georgia Southern and App State have gone to overtime. I expect another tight game. Give me Georgia Southern and the free bucket.
