South Alabama vs Georgia State preview, prediction, and betting lines. Both teams have been interesting, but neither one has won a Sun Belt game.
Georgia State lost 41-24 (Over 59) at -6.5 Georgia Southern Saturday. With that setback, GSU continued its own skid: the Panthers have lost 4 in a row. Georgia State has allowed 40-plus points in back-to-back games and in 6 of its last 9 games since last November. The 2025 Panthers rank 136th and last in scoring defense (41.1 PPG).
Both South Alabama and Georgia State need to win out to become bowl-eligible, which means the loser of Thursday night’s game is guaranteed a losing record and no postseason berth. The Jaguars enter the game having lost six straight, while the Panthers have lost four in a row.
Georgia's 2-1 against top-15 competition this season. Despite struggles on defense after giving up 41 and 35 points in wins over Tennessee and Ole Miss, the Bulldogs have made enough plays in late-game situations to avoid losses in those contests. Georgia Tech might be unbeaten, but one-loss Georgia has played a far more difficult schedule.
Vanderbilt moved up 7 spots to No. 10 in the AP poll, the Commodores’ highest ranking since 1947. Vanderbilt downed LSU 31-24 to earn just the fifth top-10 ranking in program history. The others were in 1937 (once), 1941 (once) and 1947 (twice).
After Thursday, either South Alabama or Georgia State will be playing out the string this season. The Jaguars and Panthers are both 1-6 overall, 0-3 in the Sun Belt Conference heading into their Thursday night game at Center Parc Stadium in Atlanta.
