Betting Trends for vs
The South Alabama Jaguars have been impressive this season as they already have 3 wins after many years of struggling, and the reason behind their success has been their offense. The Jaguars have a very dangerous group of WRs with Tolbert (486 yards, 4 TDs) and Baker (443 yards, 6 TDs), and they should once again be able to stretch the Georgia Southern defense. The Georgia Southern Eagles will try to control the clock with their triple option offense as they have struggled to throw the ball this season, and they will need Shai Werts and J.D. King to slash a defense that has been average this year. South Alabama has the offensive firepower to keep themselves in this game, but Georgia Southern will have the final word. Final Score Prediction, Georgia Southern Eagles win but fail to cover ATS 27-24.
