Georgia State vs. Georgia Southern Picks
Point Spread Pick for Georgia State vs. Georgia Southern
- Georgia Southern Eagles -7 (4 Units)
The Eagles have won two of their three home games, while the Panthers have lost two straight road games. Georgia Southern has the edge here because they have a balanced offense, led by a potent passing attack. Their offense won’t face a lot of resistance in this game because the Panthers have one of the worst defenses in the country. Their pass defense isn’t very good, and they’re worse against the run, so expect the Eagles to have their way offensively.
The Panthers won’t be as successful offensively because they’re one-dimensional, with one of the worst run offenses in the country, and a good passing game. The Eagles don’t have to worry about the Panthers beating them on the ground, which will allow them to focus on stopping the pass, so expect the Panthers to have a hard time keeping up with the Eagles. Go with Georgia Southern to cover the spread.
