The over is 4-0 in Ragin’ Cajuns last 4 overall. The under is 6-2 in Eagles last 8 overall. The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
I’m not thrilled to back either of these teams in their current form, especially Georgia Southern, who has lost five straight and is losing those games by an average of 11.8 points while shooting 37.6 percent from the field. With that said, it is a pick em game between two struggling teams. The Georgia Southern Eagles win at home by an average of 11.1 points. I have to lean home team here, but this game is blah at best.
