The Georgia Southern Eagles have been very good against the number against the South Alabama Jaguars as they have covered the spread in 5 consecutive meetings. The Georgia Southern Eagles have not gotten off to an ideal start, but they have had games against LSU and Minnesota which explains 2 of their losses. The Eagles are a run-heavy team and they have an explosive QB in Shai Werts who will make any defense pay if they are not gap sound. The South Alabama Jaguars struggled to get anything going on the offensive side of the ball against the UL Monroe Warhawks as Ceephus Johnson only threw for 114 yards and an interception which could allow Georgia Southern to key in on the ground game. Georgia Southern is the better team and I expect them to rally together wins in the conference and put them back into a bowl. Final Score Prediction, Georgia Southern Eagles win and cover ATS 35-14.
