Chris’ Pick

I’m on the Panthers with the points here. I’m not saying the Dukes won’t win here, but I didn’t love how JMU looked against ODU, and these games are likely going to be competitive for JMU the rest of the year, considering an undefeated record is all that’s on the line with no postseason on the horizon for the Dukes. On the other side, Georgia State’s still trying to push for a conference title game spot and I think this is a 3-4 point game at best. Give me the Panthers and the points here.
