The line on Saturday's Famous Idaho Potato Bowl game between Georgia State and Utah State was coming in at Utah State -2.5. This one had dipped to -1 for a time after opening at -2.5. Some books were hitting the -3.
We get a number of 1.39 Utah State. This suggests a slight overlay and that has been very good for the dog in this line range of 3/2.5/2 without moving above the 3. The underdogs have covered at a 73 percent clip with our system.
Georgia State imploded during the second half of the season though. They also lost their starting running back and top wide receiver to the transfer portal. They lost a total of 13 players to the transfer portal. The Panthers could be a shell of the team that started the season 5-1. One player they managed to hold onto is starting quarterback Darren Grainger.
He is listed with a total Over/Under passing yards of 189.5.
Grainger threw for 2,364 yards and 17 touchdowns and rushed for another 625 yards and eight scores this season.
Grainger became the first three-year starting QB in school history and is the school all-time leader in total offense and touchdown passes.
Levi Williams number came in at 206.5. This will be his second start of the season. He's actually started in the Potato Bowl before playing for Wyoming.
"Bring me back to the Potato Bowl, I guess," Williams said. "But I'm super blessed and super humbled. I love this team and we're going to try to go up there and get a nice win to end the season."
Williams also started the 2019 Arizona Bowl for Wyoming and beat Georgia State in that game.
