LendingTree Bowl Preview: Western Kentucky to Beat Georgia State?

Can Georgia State beat Western Kentucky in the 2020 LendingTree Bowl? According to football betting sites, it’s very likely for such a scenario to play out. They’re giving -200 on the Panthers. It may seem reasonable, given the fact that Georgia State finished the regular season with 5-4 overall, which is better than Western Kentucky’s score of 5-6.

However, the game could end up being more tense than expected. The thing is that this is a college bowl game with a history of over two decades. It’s taking place in Mobile, Alabama, one day after Christmas.  It’s needless each team would love to finish the year with a nice win. That said, you can be sure the Hilltoppers are going to give their utmost in the LendingTree Bowl!

Georgia State vs Western Kentucky Preview

The Georgia State Panthers are favored to win the 2020 LendingTree Bowl, but they’re coming off a long break. This team hasn’t played a single game since November, so their players might be out of shape.

Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, on the other hand, played their most recent game on December 6. The game in question was against Charlotte, in which they entered as a 3-point underdog. Still, despite oddsmakers expecting Charlotte to win, Western Kentucky got themselves a big victory. The final score was 37-19.

The win over Charlotte was their third win in a row, which has put the Hilltoppers in a fantastic mood. They’re feeling enthusiastic about the LendingTree Bowl for the fact that they’ve come a long way since going 2-6 in the regular NCAA season.

Who’s Gonna Win the 2020 LendingTree Bowl?

It’s going to be a close game, as two teams of similar quality go toe-to-toe. Sportsbooks believe Georgia State is the favorite, but we feel a surprise might happen. The thing is that in college football bowls, surprises do happen often.

In the previous LendingTree Bowl, the favorite won (Louisiana beat Miami Ohio), but before that, we saw underdogs winning on many occasions.
