Same Game Parlay (SGP) or Multi-Leg Parlay

• Kentrel Bullock (South Alabama), Anytime Touchdown in the First Half at +100

Bullock has scored in five of seven games this season. As poor as Georgia State’s run defense is and as much as South Alabama leans on the run, it would be shocking if he didn’t score in the first half.

• Cameron Brown (Georgia State), UNDER 1.5 passing touchdowns at -125

Brown has had more than 1.5 in two of five games this season. Against a good South Alabama pass defense that has allowed eight passing touchdowns this season, I doubt he gets two.

• Georgia State, UNDER 23.5 at +100

The Panthers have averaged just 18.9 points per game this season. South Alabama’s defense is nothing special, but with the Jags run game controlling the clock, Georgia State may not have a chance to score 24 points.

• SGP Odds: +410

A $100 wager will result in a $510 payday, your stake plus $410 in winnings.

Top Player Props

• Kentrel Bullock, OVER 89.5 rushing yards at -115

He hasn’t gone over this mark since running for 107 yards vs. Tulane. But the Jaguars lean on the run, and Bullock will be running against one of the worst run defenses in the country.

• Cameron Brown (Georgia State), UNDER 237.5 passing yards at -115

Between South Alabama’s run game maintaining possession and the Jags' pass defense (174.9 ypg allowed), Brown will not see the ball often enough to go over this TOTAL. Take the UNDER.

Best Bets (Straight Picks)

• South Alabama -6.5

I have to go with the visiting Jaguars to pull off a win on the road. South Alabama has its flaws, but the Jags have a solid run that averages just under 200 yards a game on the ground. Georgia State, on the other hand, allows over 200 yards rushing per game.

The Jags offense should have no problem exploiting the Panthers' defense and covering the spread.

Analyst’s Take / Expert Note

When it comes to two lesser-known teams you may not be too familiar with, the first you should do is look for an obvious mismatch, especially if they both have poor records like these two. In such cases, it is not uncommon to see one team excel at doing one thing.

The teams they’ve played were good enough to overcome what they are good at. But another lackluster team like Georgia State may not be.

In this matchup, we have a South Alabama team that averages nearly 200 yards a game on the ground and a Georgia State team that averages over 200 yards a game allowed on the ground. That mismatch will be enough to see the Jaguars walk away with their first conference win of the season.

• Point Spread: South Alabama -6.5 (-110) vs. Georgia State +6.5 (-110)
• Money Line: South Alabama -240 vs. Georgia State +195
• TOTAL (OVER/UNDER): 55.5 (-110/-110)
