This should be a fun game between two teams that are playing well, but the difference is the Georgia Southern Eagles remain one of the worst defensive teams in the country and their offense has turnover issues. The South Alabama Jaguars are an above average offense, and their defense is fourth against the run and 16th in scoring defense. South Alabama is simply the more balanced team overall and is hard to step in front of in this spot. Give me the Jags.
