Can Georgia State Snap Losing Streak?
The Georgia State Panthers started this season with a 2-1 record, which included a win at home over Vanderbilt out of the SEC, who went onto beat Alabama after that game. But Georgia State has had a nightmarish run since then, losing four straight games to fall to 2-5 on the year. They have gone 0-4 in the Sun Belt since conference play has started and will hope that a break from conference action is just what they need to get their season back on track, starting this week against UConn.
UConn Approaching Bowl Eligibility
UConn has long been a laughingstock in the college football world. But they are off to a terrific start this season, going 5-3 and sitting one win away from bowl eligibility. So far this year, UConn’s losses have all come to power conference opponents, as they have lost to Maryland, Duke, and Wake Forest. Meanwhile, they have beaten every team from outside of the power conferences that they have faced, a trend they will look to keep alive with a win here against a struggling Georgia State squad.
Georgia State vs UConn Betting Pick
In Friday’s Georgia State vs UConn matchup, we will lay the points with the UConn Huskies. Not only is UConn unbeaten against everyone they have played from outside of the power conferences, they have won all of those games by a touchdown or more. We expect that trend to continue here against a Georgia State team that will lose its fifth game in a row, while granting UConn bowl eligibility for just the third time in the last decade.
