Georgia Southern opens as a massive 26.5-point favorite at home against Charleston Southern in what figures to be a significant mismatch between FBS and FCS competition. The total sits at 52.5, suggesting oddsmakers expect the Eagles to put up points while the Buccaneers contribute enough offense to keep the game from turning into a complete shutout. Allen E. Paulson Stadium will host this early-season tune-up, and with both teams entering at 0-0, there's no recent performance data to lean on — just the raw talent gap between the two programs. No line movement has been recorded, meaning the market has largely accepted the opener without much pressure from either side. At 26.5, this is a number that demands Georgia Southern not just win but dominate, and the flat movement tells you the sharp money isn't in a rush to fade the chalk.
