Both of these teams have had issues with the break, as they’re not playing well and who knows what to expect with both sides not playing in a week. With that said, the South Alabama Jaguars have a clear edge on the offensive side, they’ll have the best player on the court, and they’re at home. USA covers at home, and Georgia State has failed to cover six straight games overall. Give me the Jags in this near toss up.
