The Arkansas State Red Wolves will head to Atlanta on November 16, 2024, to face the Georgia State Panthers in a Week 12 Sun Belt Conference matchup. Get in on all the action with our free NCAAF picks.

Both teams have seen ups and downs this season, with Georgia State aiming to maintain a strong finish in the standings, while Arkansas State looks to end on a positive note and improve their season record.

Georgia State, currently 2-7, has seen their season unravel after their win against Vanderbilt. Quarterback Christian Veilleux has led the Panthers with 1,312 passing yards and 9 touchdowns, showing consistency and leadership on the field. Running back Freddie Brock has been another key contributor, rushing for 599 yards and 3 touchdowns. With a balanced attack that mixes effective ground and aerial plays, the Panthers will look to exploit Arkansas State’s defensive struggles, as the Red Wolves have allowed five opponents to score 30+ points this season.

Arkansas State, at 5-4, has had a tough season but finds themselves still in contention for a bowl game. Quarterback Jaylen Raynor has shown flashes of potential, totaling 2,034 yards and 8 touchdowns, although turnovers have been a recurring issue for the offense. Running back Zach Wallace has provided some stability, rushing for 341 yards and 6 touchdowns. However, the Red Wolves’ defense has struggled to contain high-scoring teams, and they’ll need a focused performance to keep pace with Georgia State’s high-powered offense​.

This Arkansas State defense is just bad. After a 55-19 loss to Louisiana last week, it is just hard to trust this team even against an under-performing Georgia State squad. Georgia State should be able to get their offense going here and we like them to win a close one. Prediction: Panthers win 38-34.
