The matchup
Georgia Southern has rattled off wins over Marshall Thundering Herd (49-13), App State Mountaineers (19-3) and Old Dominion Monarchs (23-15) across its last three outings, each coming after a 24-27 loss to James Madison Dukes in week six. The Eagles have scored 239 points this season against 177 allowed.
Georgia State's lone bright spot in its recent stretch is a 39-23 win over App State Mountaineers last week, which snapped a run of losses to Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (20-31), Arkansas State Red Wolves (32-38) and James Madison Dukes (22-49). The Panthers have put up 310 points this season while allowing 236.
Key matchups
Georgia Southern's defense has been stingy lately, holding its last two opponents to 13 and 3 points respectively. That unit will be tested by a Georgia State offense that found its footing with 39 points against App State Mountaineers last week after scoring 20, 32 and 22 in the three games before that.
Georgia State's defense gave up 49 points to James Madison Dukes and 38 to Arkansas State Red Wolves in back-to-back weeks before tightening up against App State. How that unit handles an Eagles attack that scored 49 points of its own last week could decide this one.
The pick
The market has Georgia Southern as a 6.0-point favorite with a total of 56.5, and the market score sits at Georgia Southern Eagles 31, Georgia State Panthers 25. Georgia Southern's three-game streak and its recent defensive numbers give it the edge, though Georgia State has shown it can put points on the board when its offense is clicking.
This one could come down to whether Georgia State's defense can avoid another blowup like the ones it suffered against James Madison and Arkansas State. Georgia Southern's momentum makes it the pick, but not by much more than the number on the board.
