Get the best Georgia Southern vs App State predictions ahead of Monday's matchup in Birmingham. Free college football picks for December 29.
Yet, thanks to a shortage of bowl-eligible teams and a glut of 5–7 programs, we find ourselves here, with an invitation to the Birmingham Bowl producing a matchup against the Georgia Southern Eagles. The Appalachian State Mountaineers taking this opportunity may be fun on the surface, but with so much of their offense missing, my Georgia Southern vs.
Appalachian State predictions doubt the Mountaineers having fun at kickoff.Georgia Southern held on for a 25-23 win at Appalachian State in November. “Held on” is an appropriate verb choice, given the Eagles had a 19-0 lead in the second quarter. However, the win was still more dominant than the final score implies; the Mountaineers never had the ball with a chance to tie the game, a touchdown in the last two minutes glossing up the final score. With Appalachian State likely down its top two quarterbacks as well as its best receiver, expect Georgia Southern to replicate that November result.First of all, a neutral site moves this line at least three points toward the Eagles. Secondly, power ratings tightened the gap between these two teams by a point throughout November, a conservative reflection of the Mountaineers going 1-2-1 against the spread in the final four games of the year while Georgia Southern went 3-1 ATS.Chalk that up to Appalachian State’s offense suffering significant losses to opt-outs. Its top two quarterbacks are not expected to play. Multiple skill position players are either opting out or injured. This is the natural result of players expecting their season to end on Nov. 29, only to learn eight days later that they’ll be playing in a rivalry rematch.

His betting habits and coverage follow that same pattern. He covered Notre Dame football for various outlets from 2008 to 2024, most notably spending eight seasons as NBC Sports’ beat writer on the Irish. That was also when his gambling focus took off. Knowing there were veteran beat writers with three decades more experience than he had, Douglas found his niche by best recognizing Notre Dame’s standing in each year’s national landscape, a complex tapestry most easily understood and remembered via betting odds. In 2021, that interest created a freelance opportunity with Covers, a role that eventually led to Douglas joining the company full-time in 2023. In the fall, Douglas will place five or six dozen bets each week, a disproportionate amount via BetRivers because the operator tends to have lines slightly different than the rest of the market. The same can be said of Circa Sports’ futures markets. While Douglas is an avid NBA fan and covers the league throughout the year, the vast majority of his bets are on college football, because that is the biggest key to sports betting: Know what you do not know.LSU vs Houston Prediction, Picks & Odds for Tonight — Texas BowlNorth Texas vs San Diego State Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today — New Mexico BowlGeorgia Tech vs BYU Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today — Pop-Tarts BowlIf you choose to make use of any information on this website including online sports betting services from any websites that may be featured on this website, we strongly recommend that you carefully check your local laws before doing so.It is your sole responsibility to understand your local laws and observe them strictly.Covers does not provide any advice or guidance as to the legality of online sports betting or other online gambling activities within your jurisdiction and you are responsible for complying with laws that are applicable to you in your relevant locality.Covers disclaims all liability associated with your use of this website and use of any information contained on it.As a condition of using this website, you agree to hold the owner of this website harmless from any claims arising from your use of any services on any third party website that may be featured by Covers.
