Charlotte 49ers (8*)
(NCAAF) Charlotte vs. Georgia State,
Point Spread: 8.00 | -107.00 Charlotte (Away)
Result: Win
The Georgia State Panthers will host the Charlotte 49ers in an early game on Friday. This looks like a case of the wrong team being favored here. I'll take the visitors getting points in a game that I think they should have no trouble winning outright.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Previous History - The Panthers are coming off a dismal 1-11 season in the Sun Belt, The 49ers won five games in 2014, and they lost twice in overtime, and once by just three points.

2. Trends - The Panthers have failed to cover in six of their last seven home games, and they lost their last three home games by a combined 93 point margin.

3. X-Factor - Georgia State allowed opponents to average over 300 yards rushing last season, and it's pass rush was also extremely ineffective.

Selection: This is a play on the Charlotte 49ers (8*)
