Pick
I’m leaning towards Appalachian State here. Not a game I’m really rushing to bet, but the thing here is that Georgia State hasn’t been able to get the job done home or away and the nice thing about Appalachian State is that they always have a defense that travels. I just don’t see Georgia State suddenly having success here and I think the Mountaineers get it done here.
