Georgia Southern vs Southern Miss Prediction

I’m not thrilled to lay points with a bad defensive team, but we’re not being asked to lay much here. Southern Miss is simply the better team that finds ways to win and has topped 30 points in 3 of its last 4 games. Georgia Southern has struggled against good teams this season and is 134th in total defense and 129th in scoring defense. With the way Southern Miss is scoring, Georgia Southern will likely see its defensive issues continue. Again, we’re not laying much. I’ll side with Southern Miss and the small number on the road.
