In this prediction between App State and Georgia State, App State is coming in as the road favorite with a -1.5 advantage. This season, App State has been the superior team, as evidenced by their better overall record; nevertheless, they have performed below average when playing away from home, and they have suffered consecutive losses that have also failed to cover the spread. Georgia State, on the other hand, has a record of 3-1 in its most recent four games, as well as a record of 4-1 against the spread. Additionally, they have been very good at home, which is why I favor them as home dogs in this matchup. For a plus money wager, Georgia State should be taken on the moneyline.
