Appalachian State vs Georgia Southern Prediction

I’ll stick with App State, but you could call this one either way. The Mountaineers were in a bad spot heading into the fourth quarter of their most recent loss versus Old Dominion, but a couple of cosmetic touchdowns made the end result not so bad. App State ended up with 374 total yards in that one—301 of which came through the air. The Mountaineers added 5.2 yards and 23 first downs but went a rough 4-of-16 on third-down tries and a couple of interceptions. On defense App State gave up 459 total yards, 26 first downs and 9-of-18 on third downs. The good news is that the Mountaineers are scoring well; they’ve hit 21 or more points in four straight games.

As for Georgia Southern, they were pretty flat in their latest road loss to Arkansas State,. The Eagles finished with 336 yards, 22 first downs, nine penalties and 5-of-14 on third-down conversion attempts. Georgia Southern has 24 or more points in three straight games themselves, but they’ve also been giving up quite a bit on the other side during that stretch. We should have a big total in this one.
