Pick
I’m backing Southern Miss here. The Golden Eagles are just the better team and while Georgia Southern’s had some recent success, it’s all pretty much come at home. The Eagles were competitive against Marshall, but I just have a hard time seeing the Eagles bringing that same energy in back-to-back games against an arguably tougher opponent in Southern Miss, who was absolutely crushing it before their loss to South Alabama last time out. I think at home, this one’s all Southern Miss.
