Jacksonville State Gamecocks vs. Georgia Southern Eagles Prediction

I’m on Georgia Southern here. I’ve been on the wrong side of both of these teams this season and I just feel like I have a lot more stability with the QB play for Georgia Southern compared to what we have with Jacksonville State. This is still a solid Georgia Southern offense that can air it out, and frankly, I don’t trust Gavin Wimsatt to take care of the football. I think Georgia Southern has the far more potent offense in this game and in the end, I think the Eagles do enough for the win and cover at home here.
