The Georgia Southern Eagles were one of the top group of 5 programs last season, and they should have similar success this season as they return a ton of key talent. Georgia Southern is a run-heavy offense and they should find success here as the Tigers will have to adjust to life without Devin White, and they will possess the ball for the majority of the game especially if they are pickup up 1st downs. LSU is a talented team, and they should have no problem winning in their home stadium but Georgia Southern is a feisty team and could give the Tigers a slight scare. Final Score Prediction, LSU Tigers win but fail to cover ATS 35-14.
