Georgia State Panthers vs. Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Prediction
What this market assessment boils down to is bowl experience. Western Kentucky had won the Conference USA for two years in a row and earned successive bowl bids to a game of its choosing as a result; Georgia State has never played in a bowl game before. This difference is driving the public’s perspective and vantage of this contest. Though the records are similar, these two programs are headed in opposite directions.
Last year, Georgia State couldn’t even qualify for a bowl game. At one point this year, the Panthers were the favorite to win the Sun Belt given the fact they were playing at a stellar level in conference play. Though State lost the conference race down the backstretch they have nevertheless shown they are going to be in the mix on a perennial basis moving forward. Western Kentucky is still trying to find out how to move on since Jeff Brohm left for Purdue. Look for a spirited Panthers team to take the fight to a Western Kentucky bunch prone to come in flat due to stark contrasts in campaign outcomes when compared to a year ago.
