The favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The Georgia State Panthers are the better team, but they’ve been hit or miss all year, and they haven’t played a game since December 21. I expect rust with Georgia State in this contest. The Texas-Arlington Mavericks are playing their best ball of the season right now, and they’re a solid defensive team that can allow them to keep games close. The Mavericks are live dogs here. Give me the points.
