Georgia State Panthers vs. Appalachian State Mountaineers Prediction

I’m on App State here. Cameran Brown looks like he’s still banged up and without Brown at 100% this Georgia State team has looked completely different than what they were through the first half of the season and that’s not good at all. The Mountaineers took one on the chin against Georgia Southern last week but I still feel like App State is still in the better position in this matchup so give me the Mountaineers in this one.
