South Alabama vs Georgia State Prediction
Now we have the South Alabama vs Georgia State Prediction for both teams.
South Alabama and Georgia State enter this Week 9 matchup both desperate to shake off recent struggles and find a spark as the season moves deeper into conference play. South Alabama’s recent history has been frustrating, to say the least. The Jaguars have dropped their last six games against Georgia State, and their betting trends paint an equally grim picture — going 1-4 against the spread (ATS) in their last five and just 0-6 straight up over their past six overall. The defense has been inconsistent, giving up 41.1 points per game, while the offense has sputtered at key moments, averaging only 23.4 points. While their ground game (ranked 30th nationally at 198.5 rushing yards per game) remains a bright spot, their inability to convert in the red zone and defend big plays has been a recurring issue. South Alabama will need to control time of possession and lean on their running attack to keep Georgia State’s offense off the field.
Georgia State, meanwhile, has been caught in a similar downward spiral, entering this contest at 1-7 in their last eight games and also 1-7 ATS during that stretch. Their once-explosive offense has been inconsistent, managing just 18.9 points per game this season while surrendering over 41 on defense. Despite their struggles, the Panthers have a passing game capable of attacking South Alabama’s secondary — averaging 250 yards through the air — and they might find opportunities to strike against a Jaguars defense ranked 125th in rushing yards allowed and 104th in points surrendered. However, Georgia State’s home woes are glaring: the Panthers are 2-10 in their last 12 home games and 1-14 against Sun Belt opponents overall. Those trends make it difficult to trust them, especially when their defense continues to allow over 6 yards per play and struggles to get off the field.
This matchup sets up as a battle of two teams searching for identity, and the numbers suggest it could be another grind-it-out affair. South Alabama’s ability to run the ball effectively and control possession could prove decisive against a Georgia State defense that has struggled all year to stop the run. While neither team inspires much confidence given their ATS and straight-up records, the Jaguars’ stronger rushing attack and slightly better time-of-possession numbers may give them the edge in what figures to be a low-scoring, mistake-prone contest. The trends also lean heavily toward the UNDER, given both teams’ inconsistent offenses and their recent head-to-head history.
