Georgia State Win Against Cicinnati - Payout Odds: Why Panthers Should Cover
Georgia State winning against the Bearcats outright would pay out $76 for every $10 bet.
They may not win outright but we here at Gambling911.com see this one as a close call when it comes to Georgia State being able to cover the spread. In their last six wins, the Bearcats have not been able to win by more than the current spread of -14 in five of them. This is a pretty decent Georgia State team after all.
From Sports Illustrated:
Cincinnati claimed the final automatic bid of Selection Sunday and a No. 2 seed with a gritty win over Houston, but the Bearcats’ hard-fought AAC tournament title run spotlighted how bleak the offense can look when the jumpers aren’t falling. The Panthers, back in the bracket for the first time since R.J. Hunter’s 2015 first-round game-winner against Baylor caused his coach and father Ron Hunter to fall out of his chair, play a zone defense that will demand Cincy find its range early on. On the other end, Georgia State sophomore D’Marcus Simonds averages 20.9 points per game, more than Hunter ever did in his three years in Atlanta, and plays without a governor, making him an ideal candidate for a March star turn. The Bearcats won’t be able to just bully their way to the second round.
