I don't see this Sun Belt game sliding under 3 points so moneyline it is. Simply put, Georgia Southern is a one-dimensional running team and South Alabama usually can stop the run -- plus is No. 1 in the nation in third-down defense. Offensively, the Jaguars can beat teams via the run or pass under South Carolina (and Utah) QB transfer Jake Bentley. Georgia Southern is near the bottom of the Sun Belt defensively. Really short week for the Eagles as they had to travel again after doing so Saturday as well.
Georgia Southern has historically owned South Alabama, covering the number six of the last seven meetings. The Eagles are better this year too, but somehow South Alabama is the favorite. Georgia Southern rushes for 256.2 yards per game, which ranks No. 6 in the nation. The Eagles have covered their last three games. The wrong team is favored here. I took the points with Georgia Southern.
