Strongest Bet
– JC French Over 245.5 Passing Yards (-115) — Georgia Southern’s pass-heavy script faces an Appalachian State secondary that consistently surrenders explosive chunk plays downfield.
– OJ Abbott Over 68.5 Receiving Yards (-110) — Serves as the primary focal point of the Eagles’ aerial attack and has cleared this benchmark in four of his last six games.
– Anderson Castle Over 72.5 Rushing Yards (-120) — Appalachian State’s offense relies on heavy ground volume where Castle matches up well against a vulnerable Georgia Southern run defense.
