GoDaddy Bowl Georgia Southern vs. Bowling Green Picks & Predictions
By Anthony Rome
Bowling Green takes its high-powered offense to Ladd-Peebles Stadium in Alabama tonight for the GoDaddy Bowl against Georgia Southern at 8:00PM ET.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book RealBet.eu, the Falcons are a 7-point favorite versus the Eagles after the line for this game opened at 7.5. Bowling Green enters play with a 10-3 record and a 10-3 mark against the spread, while Georgia Southern finished 8-4 on the year and 8-4 at the betting window.
The Falcons ranked in the top 5 in FBS in scoring this season, averaging 43.4 points per game. They also racked up 376.0 passing yards per game and 561.0 total yards per contest behind MAC Offensive Player of the Year Matt Johnson, Paul Warfield Award-winning receiver Roger Lewis, as well as fellow wideouts Ryan Burbrink and Ronnie Moore.
Bowling Green should score plenty of points but Georgia Southern will also test the Falcons with their triple-option rushing attack. We saw Arizona struggle to contain New Mexico's triple-option in the first bowl game of the year and tonight's contest could play out the same way.
With the total sitting at 64.5 points, take the over in what should be a back-and-forth shootout of contrasting offensive styles.
