Appalachian State vs. Georgia State Picks
Point Spread Pick for Appalachian State vs. Georgia State
- Appalachian State Mountaineers -1.5 (4 Units)
The Mountaineers have won three of their last five games, while the Panthers have lost four of their last five games. Appalachian State has the edge here because they have one of the best passing games in the league, and they’re facing a defense that has struggled against the pass, giving up more than 250 passing yards per game. They will also be able to run the ball effectively against one of the worst run defenses in the country.
Scoring won't be as easy for the Panthers because they’re one-dimensional, which makes them very easy to defend. They run for less than 100 yards per game, so the Mountaineers don't have to worry about them beating them through the air, which will allow them to keep pressure on Finley and force him to make costly turnovers, which he has done consistently this season, so expect them to keep Georgia State’s offense in check. Take the Mountaineers to cover the spread.
Over/Under Pick for Appalachian State vs. Georgia State
