RJ's take: Here at the Church of Clay Helton, we proselytize the gospel of Going Bowling, and Helton does. Yes, his last two seasons are losing ones, but each is also 6-7, shorthand for bowl-eligible. Mind your APR score and your booster base, who thinks you should be doing more with what you've got — see Drake London, Jaxson Dart, Michael Pittman, all who played for Helton at USC — and you're likely to play postseason football at Statesboro for the sixth time in seven years. Just get to Week 4 at Ole Miss 3-0.

Georgia Southern's Win Total Odds: Over 5.5 (+115) Under 5.5 (-145)
