The Pick: Georgia Southern -3.5

The difference in offensive production is so heavily favored toward the Eagles that taking them by more than a field goal is worth a bet. Both teams struggled defensively this season, but Georgia Southern ranks 26th nationally in yards per play (6.1), while Buffalo is 114th in that statistic (4.6). Roll with the better offense in this matchup.
