College Football Betting Trends
Georgia Southern
The Eagles have hit the under in eight of their last 10 Thursday games and in four of their last five games on fieldturf.
Appalachian State
The Mountaineers have hit the under in five of their last six games in October and in five of their last six conference games.
Prediction:
These two have hit the under in four of their last five meetings. These midweek games haven’t let to a lot of great play. The Mountaineers had a 17-7 win at Louisiana in Week 7 on a Wednesday night. Both of these teams will have played twice in six days, which is likely to lead to poor execution on offense. Georgia State doesn’t have much of an offense to challenge Appalachian State, but I do think the Eagles will be able to be competitive on defense. The Mountaineers may win with some ease, but I could see a 35-10, 27-14-type of game.
