March Madness: Georgia State vs. Gonzaga odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Georgia State vs. Gonzaga odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 16 Georgia State Pirates (18-10) meet the No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs (26-3) Thursday in the West Region. Tip from Portland’s Moda Center is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgia State vs. Gonzaga odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Pirates will try to do the unthinkable — conquer the top-seeded Bulldogs. Gonzaga is the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament so Georgia State will have its work cut out.

The Pirates rank 152nd in the nation per Kenpom. Their strength is defensively, with the 115th-ranked defensive efficiency. George State won 3 games by single digits in the Sub Belt to earn a tournament berth.

As for Gonzaga, last year’s tournament runnerup is among the betting favorites to win it all behind F Drew Timme and potential No. 1 overall pick C Chet Holmgren.

The Zags rank first in the nation in points per game (88.3) and second in field goal percentage. It also ranks third in opponents’ field goal percentage, so they’re a dominant group coached by the experienced Mark Few.

Georgia State vs. Gonzaga odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Gonzaga 84, Georgia State 59

Money line

PASS.

It’s March. Enough said.

Don’t bet any -5000 money line. Along those lines, one should also note it seems impossible that Georgia State pulls off the upset despite Virginia going down as a No. 1 seed in 2018.

Against the spread

LEAN to GONZAGA -22.5 (-115).

Gonzaga is 1-2 ATS when favored by 20-30 points, a position the Bulldogs were in during the beginning of the season.

The Bulldogs have the No. 1 adjusted offensive efficiency and No. 7 adjusted defensive efficiency. They’re that good, and this should be the start of a dominating stretch of games.

The size should be the most telling factor. Georgia State has only one player over 6-foot-9. That’s going to be a problem. The Bulldogs have 2 players that stand over 6-foot-10 and get big-time minutes.

Timme and Holmgren are going to dominate the paint and should help rack up the score.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 149.5 (-112).

The Zags’ offense has been so good that its games typically get higher totals, but if there’s one thing that both teams are good at it’s not hitting the projected total.

Georgia State is stronger defensively which could limit Gonzaga’s looks. GSU is 8-17 O/U this season while the Zags are 12-17 O/U.

Given that Gonzaga will slow the pace when they’re up big, I expect a slow-paced game in the second half, one that helps the Under hit.

Camellia Bowl: Georgia State vs. Ball State odds, picks and prediction

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

The Georgia State Panthers (7-5) meet the Ball State Cardinals (6-6) Saturday for the TaxAct Camellia Bowl at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala. Kickoff is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgia State vs. Ball State odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Panthers of Georgia State streak in with three straight wins, and six victories in their last seven games while also going 6-1 ATS across that span. The Under is 5-1 in the past six for GSU.

The Cardinals of Ball State secured bowl eligibility with a 20-3 win against Buffalo in their regular-season finale, snapping a two-game losing skid. Ball State is 1-4 ATS and the Under is 5-0 in its last five games.

Prediction

Georgia State 27, Ball State 20

Money line

Georgia State (-210) will cost you more than two times your potential return, and that’s a little too expensive despite the fact the crowd should be a pro-Panthers crowd with the closer proximity to Atlanta.

Still, PASS, and look to the spread instead.

Against the spread

Play GEORGIA STATE -5.5 (-112) in their fifth-ever bowl game. The Panthers enter as the hotter team with three wins in a row and they picked up a victory in the LendingTree Bowl last season. This is a team that knows how to win.

Ball State is 1-4 ATS in the past five bowl games, and it limps in with just two wins in its last five games overall while going 1-4 ATS.

Over/Under

The UNDER 50.5 (-108) is the play in this bowl game — even though it’s been an Over-fest in postseason games to date.

Ball State cashed the Under in each of its final five games of the regular season, and the Cardinals scored 20 or fewer points in six of their last 11 games. This isn’t a high-octane offense.

The defense of the Panthers was fierce down the stretch, too, allowing 21 or fewer points in six of the final seven games, with the Under going 5-1 in their final six outings.

Georgia State at Coastal Carolina odds, picks and prediction

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

The Georgia State Panthers (4-5, 3-2 Sun Belt) visit the No. 21 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (8-1, 4-1) Saturday at Brooks Stadium in Conway, S.C. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgia State at Coastal Carolina odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Panthers played Louisiana tough on the road last week as they fell 21-17 and covered a 13.5-point number. Georgia State is 3-1 SU/4-0 ATS across its last four, getting themselves right back in the hunt for a bowl bid.

The Chanticleers pecked out a 28-8 win in the rain at Georgia Southern last week, beginning life after QB Grayson McCall, who may be done for the season due to a shoulder injury. The offense had a different look behind the play of QB Bryce Carpenter as they rushed for 220 yards and had just 85 yards through the air.

Georgia State at Coastal Carolina odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Coastal Carolina 27, Georgia State 24

Money line

Coastal Carolina still has some impressive offense pieces, but the loss of McCall is a huge one as it changes the complexion of the team. The weather conditions in Statesboro last week might have created a need for a more ground-based attack, but I don’t like what I saw from the Chants one bit.

Georgia State is 0-11 SU all-time against ranked teams, so an outright win is not likely.

PASS and look to the spread.

Against the spread

GEORGIA STATE +10.5 (-112) has been on a roll lately, and I wouldn’t be shocked in the least to see the Panthers win this one outright. That’s how well they’ve been playing lately, and QB Darren Grainger is from Conway, S.C., so this will be a homecoming and he’ll look to show the Chanticleers what they missed by not recruiting him. The chip on the shoulder aspect is always nice.

The Panthers have covered four straight overall, four straight on the road, and five of their last six against winning teams. The road team is also a perfect 4-0 ATS in the last four in this series.

Over/Under

The UNDER 51.5 (-105) is the lean, but only with a small-unit play.

I’d like to see Carpenter under center a little more as a starter this season, and a home game with ideal weather conditions will give us a better understanding of what he brings to the table. We’ve seen him plenty in the past, before the rise of McCall. CCU ran a lot last week, perhaps due to the rain, and the pass game wasn’t sharp at all.

Georgia State at Louisiana odds, picks and prediction

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

The Georgia State Panthers (4-4, 3-1 SBC) and Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (7-1, 5-0) get together Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Cajun Field in Lafayette, La. Below, we look at the Georgia State vs. Louisiana odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports.

Georgia State has won three in a row and has rallied after a 1-4 start to the season. The Panthers scored a go-ahead touchdown with 26 seconds remaining Saturday at Georgia Southern to earn a 21-14 victory. Georgia State has allowed just 51 combined points over its three straight wins.

The Cajuns are on their own winning streak as they’ve won seven games in a row. Louisiana is 14-1 over its last 15 games and it won its last seven games of the 2020 season. UL clocked a 45-0 win over Texas State Saturday as it more than doubled up the Bobcats in total yards, 425-205.

Georgia State at Louisiana odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Louisiana 38, Georgia State 21

Money line

PASS on the wide disparity between the underdog and favorite tags here. Figure the true odds — perhaps Louisiana near 80%, or -400 — as being obscured in between.

Against the spread

The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five GSU-UL series meetings.

Georgia State looks to be getting too much credit for its win over Georgia Southern. The Panthers handily lost the yardage battle while winning the turnover exchange in that one.

Louisiana is good enough on both sides of the ball to build a two-score lead in the opening half. GSU doesn’t have the passing game to make a comeback, and the Cajuns have the running game to ice a cushion late. The Cajuns have covered the spread by at least 15 points in three consecutive home games, and the short week figures to favor the home side here.

BACK LOUISIANA -12.5 (-115).

Over/Under

Consider a partial-unit play on the OVER 53.5 (-112). The upside hit in last year’s game when it was set at 57.5. Both offenses are trending the right way. The lean is a small one, however.

Georgia State at Auburn odds, picks and prediction

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

The Georgia State Panthers (1-2) and Auburn Tigers (2-1) meet Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Georgia State at Auburn odds and lines, and make our expert college football picks, predictions and bets.

The Panthers were able to ease by Charlotte last weekend by a 20-9 count, winning and covering for the first time in three tries. It was also the first Under result after allowing 51.0 PPG in the first two games.

The Tigers, No. 23 in the AFCA Coaches Poll powered by USA TODAY Sports, had their way with Akron and FCS Alabama State in the first two games, rolling up 61.0 PPG. However, the Tigers were humbled a bit at Penn State Saturday falling 28-20.

Georgia State at Auburn odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Auburn 48, Georgia State 17

Money line

Auburn (-3000) is going to push past Georgia State (+1100) before getting knee-deep in the SEC schedule. While this game should be one-sided, there is no sense risking 30 times your potential return. There is just no value here.

AVOID.

Against the spread

AUBURN -26.5 (-117) is the play in this one as the Tigers get a final tune-up before things get much more difficult in conference play.

I still don’t trust QB Bo Nix to roll up big numbers, especially against top-notch teams. However, in this glorified scrimmage against a middle-tier Sun Belt squad, he should show out, and RB Tank Bigsby will roll up huge offensive numbers.

Stream college football games on ESPN+ by signing up here.

Over/Under

OVER 57.5 (-108) is the play here as the Auburn offense can be trusted against non-Power 5 teams. They made it look easy in routs of Akron and Alabama State. Georgia State allowed 43 points to Army in the opener and 59 points to North Carolina Sept. 11. Expect the Tigers to add to GSU’s defensive woes.

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (5-6) will tangle with the Georgia State Panthers (5-4) in the Mobile, Alabama-based Lending Tree Bowl on Saturday afternoon (3:30 p.m. ET, Ladd-Peebles Stadium). Below, we analyze the Western Kentucky-Georgia State college football betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Over/Under: 51.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Western Kentucky vs. Georgia State: Three things to know

The Hilltoppers opened the 2020 season by going just 1-4 straight up (0-5 ATS) over their first five games. But early losses included solid efforts against Louisville and Liberty (WKU would also lose to BYU later in the fall), and Western Kentucky would eventually right the ship and start to look like it did when it went 9-4 with a bowl win in 2019. WKU covered in the BYU game (Oct. 31) and in three others over its last five. The Hilltoppers have gone 3-0 SU since Nov. 14.
Georgia State’s season includes a 2-3 mark in five games decided by one score. The Panthers head into their third bowl in four years having won three of their last four games. But GSU hasn’t played a game since Nov. 28. Georgia State won its first bowl game, with the Panthers defeating these Hilltoppers, 27-17, in the 2017 Cure Bowl in Orlando.
The Panthers are averaging 32.7 points per game and going against a Hilltoppers defense yielding just 24.1 PPG. WKU led Conference USA in pass defense, allowing just 170.1 yards per game

Western Kentucky vs. Georgia State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Western Kentucky 28, Georgia State 20

Money line (ML)

The Hilltoppers have put together some exceptional defensive performances over their last month of games. A bit of regression in the third-down numbers for the WKU offense and in the red-zone numbers for the GSU defense play in the Hilltoppers’ favor. So does Georgia State’s layoff. TAKE WESTERN KENTUCKY (+155).

Against the spread (ATS)

The Panthers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games played in December. The Hilltoppers are 5-1-1 ATS such games.

BACK THE HILLTOPPERS +3.5 (-105) in a game with a likable Under.

Over/Under (O/U)

The most value in this bowl game can be found on the WKU sides, but there is a solid chance the contest plays out in 20-something-20-something fashion. TAG THIS ONE WITH A SLIGHT LEAN ON THE UNDER 51.5 (-120).
