Georgia Southern vs App State prediction
Georgia Southern vs App State best bet: App State -6.5 (-105)
The Appalachian State Mountaineers' strength in the trenches should be the difference Thursday night in Boone, NC.
The Mountaineers allow just 110 rushing yards per game, while the Georgia Southern Eagles give up a staggering 240 yards on the ground.
That mismatch should give App State control of tempo behind Sun Belt Conference rushing leader Rashod Dubinion and his 94.5 rushing yards per game.
Georgia Southern’s defense doesn’t travel. They are 0-4 on the road and allow an average of 42 points per game, and rank among the worst nationally in rushing touchdowns allowed (25).
Georgia Southern quarterback JC French is a volume passer, but the constant pressure App State will apply should produce too many stalled drives, allowing the Mountaineers to outscore the Eagles.
App State wins the war of the trenches and covers the spread.
