Georgia State at Auburn odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Georgia State at Auburn odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Georgia State Panthers (4-6) take on the No. 2 Auburn Tigers (9-1) Tuesday. Tip-off from Neville Arena in Auburn, Alabama, is set for 8 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Georgia State vs. Auburn odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Georgia State is fresh off a 77-63 home loss to the Charlotte 49ers Saturday. The Panthers lost as 1.5-point favorites and the Under (144) came in by 4 points. F Zarique Nutter was butter with 19 points, including 7-for-10 from the floor. The 6-foot-7 senior is averaging 17.9 PPG on 48.2% shooting on the season.

The Tigers made light work of Ohio State in a 91-53 victory Saturday as 12.5-point favorites on a neutral floor in Atlanta with the Under (150.5) cashing. F Johni Broome had 21 points, 20 boards and 6 assists. After their 6-point loss at Duke Dec. 4, the Tigers have destroyed their last 2 opponents by 44 and 38.

Georgia State at Auburn picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 83, Georgia State 62

Moneyline

The line is so big that there is no moneyline offered as of this publishing.

Against the spread

These teams matched up Dec. 14, 2022, and Auburn snuck away with a 72-64 home win, but Georgia State covered as a 19.5-point underdog.

Even before learning that the Panthers made their last meeting closer than normal, I was all about their side catching nearly 40. Auburn just destroyed 2 teams in a row by 44 and 38, and it faces No. 17 Purdue Saturday.

This is a perfect game for the Tigers to overlook and take their foot off the gas. TAKE GEORGIA STATE +39.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Georgia State is 4-5 O/U; Auburn is 6-4 O/U. Because Purdue is next on the docket, I don’t see Auburn hitting 90 points in this one. That means Georgia State is going to have to score 60-70 to cash an Over. Auburn allows 65.7 PPG, and they have faced much more formidable foes.

TAKE UNDER 155.5 (-110).

Georgia State at Kentucky odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Georgia State at Kentucky odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

The Kentucky Wildcats (6-0) welcome the Georgia State Panthers (4-3) to Rupp Arena Friday. Tip is set for 7 p.m. ET (SEC Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s college basketball odds around the Georgia State vs. Kentucky odds, and make our expert college basketball picks and predictions.

Kentucky is No. 8 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll and is coming off a 87-68 home win over the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Tuesday, but failing to cover as a 24-point favorite. The Wildcats are 2-1 against the spread (ATS) in 3 straight home games and 4-1-1 ATS on the season.

The Panthers beat the Tulsa Golden Hurricane 74-71 Wednesday, closing as a 4.5-point neutral-court underdog. They were led by F Zarique Nutter, who tallied 22 points. Georgia State has won 3 of its last 4 games and is 4-2 ATS on the season. It has lost its 2 true road games, but went 1-1 ATS in those.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

Georgia State at Kentucky picks and predictions

Prediction

Kentucky 93, Georgia State 61

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s no reason to consider a moneyline wager. The Wildcats should come out on top, but are far too expensive to play.

Against the spread

BET KENTUCKY -30.5 (-105).

The Panthers are 0-1 ATS as an underdog of 22 -plus points. They lost 101-66 to the Mississippi State Bulldogs on Nov. 8, and this should be a much more hostile environment.

The Wildcats have closed as a favorite of over 25 points twice and are 1-0-1 ATS in those. They are 3-1-1 ATS at home this season. Kentucky has scored at least 97 in 4 games and has the firepower to put it on Georgia State Friday.

Take KENTUCKY -30.5 (-105).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 162.5 (-115).

The Cats have a strong defense and have held opponents to 72 or fewer points in every game and under 68 points in 3 straight games. Kentucky ranks second in the nation averaging at 95.3 points per game and is coming an 87-point effort against the Hilltoppers.

The Panthers are 2-4 O/U and average 75.3 points ooer game, but have averaged just 62 PPG over their last 2 games. They put up 66 on the Bulldogs in that lone matchup as a heavy underdog earlier in the season.

Considering those trends, back UNDER 162.5 (-115).

Alex’s best bet: Georgia Southern at Georgia State prediction

SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White likes a side in Saturday’s NCAA football game between Georgia Southern and Georgia State.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Ready for another winner from SportsbookWire.com’s Alex White?

“Keeping the same system,” Alex is focused on a Sun Belt showdown in Atlanta.

The Georgia Southern Eagles (2-2) visit the Georgia State Panthers (2-1) in the conference opener for both squads.. Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPNU) from Center Parc Stadium. The Eagles snapped a 3-game skid in the head-to-head series with a 44-27 victory last season as 1-point home favorites.

Georgia State is favored by 3.5 points, per BetMGM Sportsbook as of Friday, 2:48 a.m. ET.

Listen below to why this is Alex’s best bet.

Georgia State at Georgia Southern odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Georgia State Panthers at Georgia Southern Eagles odds and lines, with college football expert picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Georgia State Panthers (6-1, 3-1 Sun Belt) and Georgia Southern Eagles (5-2, 2-1) tangle in a Thursday Sun Belt contest. Kickoff at Allen E. Paulson Stadium is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Georgia State vs. Georgia Southern odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Georgia State lost its lone game Sept. 30, a disappointing 28-7 setback at home against Troy. The Panthers then had a bye week, and they have since bounced back with back-to-back impressive victories. Most recently, Georgia State clocked a 20-17 road win at Louisiana as a 3-point underdog on Saturday.

The Eagles pass more than any team in FBS; they have averaged 48.9 aerial attempts per game so far this season. On Saturday, Georgia Southern beat Louisiana-Monroe 38-28 (as a -16.5 favorite). The Eagles were up big early and went more to the run against ULM. They finished with 242 passing yards, a couple clicks south of their 318.7-yard average (12th FBS).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Georgia State at Georgia Southern picks and predictions

Prediction

Georgia Southern 31, Georgia State 27

Moneyline

State beat Southern 41-33 a year ago, but this Eagles team is efficient and versatile and perhaps a bit unlucky to be averaging 32.3 points per game when more than a few indicators trend higher.

Georgia Southern is a lean, but PASS unless a better price pops up here.

Against the spread

Georgia Southern is quite good against the rush, and that could be problematic for the Panthers. Two of Georgia State’s last 3 losses (vs. Troy this season and Appalachian State last fall) have come against teams that figure as top-quartile against the run.

In many camps, State gets a green check next to its 41-27 Oct. 14 win over a now 4-2 Marshall team. But that game was dead even statistically, and the Panthers went into the 4th quarter leading 27-24.

In last year’s meeting, Georgia State was a plus-4 in turnover margin and managed a couple key, short-field scores.

Look for revenge-minded Georgia Southern to really work an advantage in the passing game on a good-weather evening in eastern Georgia.

BET THE EAGLES -1.5 (-110).

Over/Under

Several signals going both ways here, crisscrossing and making for a PASS.

Marshall at Georgia State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Marshall at Georgia State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Marshall Thundering Herd (4-1, 1-0 Sun Belt) and the Georgia State Panthers (4-1, 1-1) meet Saturday at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Marshall vs. Georgia State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Thundering Herd suffered their first setback last Saturday, falling 48-41 at NC State in a shockingly high-scoring game. Marshall had allowed a total of just 47 points in its first 3 games combined, but it has yielded 83 total points in the past 2 outings. The offense is averaging 41.0 PPG in the past 2 games, too.

The Panthers are looking to bounce back after a 28-7 setback vs. Troy on Sept. 30 as 1-point home favorites, their first loss of the season. Georgia State also saw a 3-0 against the spread (ATS) streak end with the defeat. The Under has cashed in 3 of the past 4 outings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Marshall at Georgia State picks and predictions

Prediction

Marshall 36, Georgia State 30

Moneyline

MARSHALL (-105) is the play on the road at Center Parc Stadium, formerly Turner Field, the home of the Atlanta Braves from 1997 to 2016. The Thundering Herd played an amazing, high-scoring game at NC State last weekend, taking Power 5 NC State the distance, before eventually falling by one score.

Georgia State, on the other hand, was pounded on its home field by Troy in a conference game. Not good. The Panthers had scored 30 or more points in the first 4 games, which is impressive on the surface, but that occurred against Rhode Island of the FCS, UConn, Charlotte and Coastal Carolina, not exactly a murderer’s row of college teams.

Against the spread

MARSHALL +1.5 (-110) won’t cost you much more juice, and it gives you a little bit of wiggle room, in the event Georgia State is able to pick up a 1-point victory.

However, there isn’t a big difference in the moneyline and spread, so why pay more if you don’t have to, especially when the difference is fairly negligible?

Over/Under

OVER 53.5 (-115) might be the best play on the board, especially based on Marshall’s crazy, video game-like loss at NC State. Georgia State has allowed 23.3 PPG across the past 3 games, while the offense has scored 30 or more points in 4 of 5 outings this season for the Panthers.

Marshall was good for exactly 41 points in each of the past 2 games, while allowing 41.5 PPG in the same span, nearly taking care of the Over on its own. Go high, and feel confident in doing so.

Georgia State at Coastal Carolina odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Georgia State at Coastal Carolina odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Georgia State Panthers (3-0, 0-0 Sun Belt) visit the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (2-1, 0-0) Thursday. Kickoff from Brooks Stadium is at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Georgia State vs. Coastal Carolina odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Georgia State comes into this game on a heater. The Panthers have yet to score fewer than 35 points in any game this season while only allowing more than 25 points once. The Panthers have cashed the Over in all 3 outings and the only game they failed to cover the spread was in Week 1 as 18-point favorites in a 42-35 victory vs. Rhode Island.

Coastal Carolina suffered a 27-13 loss to UCLA as a 15.5-point underdog in its opener but has won each of its last 2 outings. The Chanticleers have come on strong the past 2 weeks, winning by a total of 96-23 and covering as favorites in both games. They picked up a 66-7 victory over Duquesne as 34.5-point favorites last time out on Saturday.

While Coastal Carolina has already played a challenging opponent in UCLA, this will be the first true test for Georgia State in the early season.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Georgia State at Coastal Carolina picks and predictions

Prediction

Coastal Carolina 31, Georgia State 27

Moneyline

AVOID.

QB Grayson McCall is not having his prototypical season for the Chanticleers, but he has still been effective under new coach Todd Beck. Coastal Carolina (-275) will be able to control the pace and squeeze the life out of Georgia State, but this line is too steep to wager.

Against the spread

BET GEORGIA STATE +6.5 (-102), although if you wait until closer to kickoff you might get this at +7, which would be even better.

The Panthers have been dominating opponents this season. While Coastal Carolina is far better than its previous opponents, it should not be a nearly a full-touchdown underdog.

Both teams will look to run the ball heavily and this will limit the possessions, which makes a large spread less likely to cover.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 62.5 (-110).

Neither Coastal Carolina nor Georgia State have been giving up many points on defense this season. While both squads have solid offenses, their strengths are the run game and this will shorten the game much like a matchup of service academies.

Despite CCU scoring 66 Saturday against Duquesne, this was the only game in which it has cashed the Over. The defense should perform well at home once again and limit the Panthers offense enough to keep this game Under.

Georgia State at Appalachian State odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Georgia State at Appalachian State odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Georgia State Panthers (2-4, 1-1 Sun Belt) visit Boone, N.C., to take on the Appalachian State Mountaineers (3-3, 1-2) Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Georgia State vs. Appalachian State odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

Coach Shawn Elliott and the Georgia State Panthers struggled out of the gate with an 0-4 start. But then they won at Army 31-14 Oct. 1 and defeated visiting Georgia Southern 41-33 Oct. 8 heading into last week’s bye. The Panthers hope this is the start of a successful second half of the season.

Appalachian State is 2-2 after shocking then-No. 6 Texas A&M 17-14 on the road Sept. 10. The Mountaineers followed that with a 32-28 thrilling victory over visiting Troy but then lost at home to James Madison 32-28 Sept. 24. As if it couldn’t get any worse, it did. The Mountaineers lost as 19-point favorites in the next game, falling at Texas State 36-24 Oct. 8 before having last week off.

Both Sun Belt teams need this game to get things right as they continue the conference portion of their seasons.

Georgia State at Appalachian State picks and predictions

Prediction

Appalachian State 45, Georgia State 37

Moneyline

NO WAGER.

While Appalachian State is 8-0 all time vs. Georgia State and should improve that mark to 9-0, the -370 juice is too high and not worth the risk.

Against the spread

GEORGIA STATE +9.5 (-107) is the play.

Appalachian State has played games in many fashions this season. Against North Carolina, it lost a high scoring thriller 63-61 in its opener. That game was followed up by the signature victory at Texas A&M.

Whether it be low scoring or a shootout, the Mountaineers have been playing games close. Another close game is on the horizon in this Sun Belt matchup. A spread of 10.5 is too many points.

TAKE GEORGIA STATE +9.5 (-107) … but keep in mind that Appalachian State is 6-2 ATS in this all-time series.

Over/Under

OVER 58.5 (-115) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this game.

Both teams can score. Georgia State is 3-3 O/U and Appalachian State is 4-2.

The Over has cashed tickets in 3 of the last 4 meetings between these two. The one outlying game was a 17-13 win by App State in 2020.

Georgia State averages 29.8 points per game and yields 33.3 PPG.

Appalachian State scores 35.2 PPG and surrenders 28.8 PPG.

I expect OVER 58.5 (-110) to be an easy wager.

Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Coastal Carolina vs. Georgia State school odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

The Chanticleers enter with 3 wins in 3 outings, going 1-1-1 ATS with a pair of Over results against two FBS opponents. Coach Jamie Chadwell’s team pushed at most shops in a 38-26 home win over Buffalo Saturday.

The Panthers lead the all-time series 3-2. Oddly enough, the home side is 0-5 straight-up (SU) in all 5 previous meetings, including last season’s 42-40 win by Georgia State in Conway Nov. 13, 2021.

Coastal Carolina at Georgia State picks and predictions

Prediction

Coastal Carolina 37, Georgia State 31

Money line

COASTAL CAROLINA (-130) is the play here. Why go against tradition?

It’s odd that in 5 all-time meetings the road team has won each time, but it is set up for the 6th outing to go exactly that way here. CCU is unbeaten at 3-0 SU, while Georgia State is winless in 3 tries.

Against the spread

COASTAL CAROLINA -2.5 (-105) is worth playing here, especially since the line is under a flat three. However, to put in a sweat here, Georgia State can move the ball despite being winless. It came up short in a 42-41 loss at home to Charlotte last weekend, and 35-28 against North Carolina 2 weeks ago.

The Panthers rank 17th in the nation with 231.3 rushing yards per game, and they go for a healthy 444.7 total yards per contest and 27.7 PPG. The problem for GSU is that it cannot get defensive stops, and it has allowed 424.7 total yards per game and a ridiculous 37.3 PPG.

Over/Under

The OVER 61.5 (-112) is the play in Thursday’s Sun Belt Fun Belt action.

While Coastal has cashed the Under in 5 straight on the road, the Over is 6-1 in its previous 7 on the road against losing teams and it’s 18-5 in the previous 23 in September.

For Georgia State, the Over has hit in 4 of its last 5 Thursday appearances.

Georgia State at South Carolina odds, picks, and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Georgia State at South Carolina odds and lines, with college football expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Georgia State Panthers and South Carolina Gamecocks open their 2022 seasons in Columbia Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Georgia State vs. South Carolina odds, and make our expert college football picks and predictions.

South Carolina mainly used 3 different quarterbacks during last season’s 7-6 campaign, which included a 38-21 victory over North Carolina in the Dukes Mayo Bowl. As for 2022, the Gamecocks come into the season with a true starting QB in Oklahoma transfer Spencer Rattler. Coach Shane Beamer has familiarity with Rattler as he was an assistant head coach with the Sooners before taking the Gamecocks job before the 2021 season.

Both player and coach are hoping Rattler can rejuvenate a career that took a downturn last season when the QB was benched at Oklahoma. This Week 1 matchup against Georgia State is just what the doctor ordered for South Carolina to get off to a good start.

Georgia State returns to the field after an 8-5 season. Since joining the FBS level in 2013, the Panthers, first under coach Bill Curry and now under coach Shawn Elliott, have been a model of consistency. Finishing near the middle or top of the Sun Belt Conference is far different than going into Columbia and beating South Carolina though. This means a close game might not be in the cards here.

Georgia State at South Carolina picks and predictions

Prediction

South Carolina 34, Georgia State 17

Money line

STAY AWAY. There’s no value in backing a favorite at -450.

This one could remain close for a while, and it might look like the Panthers will have a chance. But in the second half, the Gamecocks will run away with it. Numbers on the ML this high should not be played.

Against the spread

As mentioned, I expect a slow start, but SOUTH CAROLINA -11.5 (-110) is my FAVORITE PLAY in this contest.

Rattler and a solid defense will do damage in this game against a Georgia State team that will try to run the ball and use game flow to control the clock.

While Rattler and the Gamecocks will be throwing, the Panthers, who run the ball as much as any team outside a service academy, will do just that … and come up short. Don’t get fooled by Georgia State having a better record than South Carolina last season.

Over/Under

UNDER 55.5 (-115) is the screaming play here.

Defense and rushing the ball. These 2 factors will keep this game from hitting the Over. It’s not as strong a play as the South Carolina spread, but it’s close.
