In a smaller conference I go for the second choice in the NCAA, with Georgia Southern traveling to South Alabama for the Sun Belt conference.
Premier for the two opponents in the conference play, Georgia Southern having two defeats and a win so far but having made a much more difficult schedule. South is at 2-1 so far.
As we said, Georgia Southern may have made two defeats, but both were facing stronger schools, and Georgia was particularly well in these matches. Indicative is the fact that in 3 of the game this year has covered the spread, in his last against the strong Georgia Tech lost to the details 38-42, while his other strong match with the North Carolina State lost to the point. In these two games he would score 15 and 20 respectively!
The fact that SAlabama has made it easier to program but its numbers are not good. In a difficult match with Miss.State he lost 3-35. Indicative is the fact that his numbers so far this season are well below those of Georgia Southern in basic categories.
Georgia Southern's Eagles are 6-0 at the last 6 away games.
We find a soft line here for me, even if it is a premiere in conference play and we still do not have a completely complete picture for both teams. So far, however, in their matches, Georgia Southern has a much better picture and was extremely competitive against very strong opponents. If one goes deeper in their numbers this year, you will find quite big differences so far in what the two teams bring out on the field. I believe that if Georgia Southern catches 80% of the performance it made in the previous matches, it will not have a problem to leave with the victory in its premiere at Sunbelt. In the books that offer the match, we find Georgia Southern at -2.5 at Stoiximan @ 1.93.
