Georgia Southern Eagles at Massachusetts Minutemen Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
The Eagles remain winless on the season and added to their list of woes last Saturday when the New Mexico State Aggies came to Statesboro and handed GSU a 35-27 loss. There is one silver lining in the dark cloud for the Eagles, each week their offense has found ways to generate more offense. In their season opener they yielded just seven points. The Eagles feature a unique offensive approach to the game in that they are purveyors of the triple option.

<p>
Needless to say, Massachusetts has had a very tumultuous campaign in their own right. The Minutemen have lost four of their six losses by just one possession. In fact, UMass has even looked impressive in some of their defeats. Most notably, the Militia took it to the Tennessee Volunteers at Rocky Top when they fell by a score of 17-13 despite closing as a 28-point road pup. As an underdog on the year, the Minutemen have been a 50/50 proposition. As a favorite however, they have stumbled mightily.

Old Dominion Monarchs at Massachusetts Minutemen Week 8 Prediction

The good news here is that someone is going to win their first game of the 2017 season. The question is who? We have seen UMass in a situation earlier this season where they were spotting points as home hosts to Hawaii. The Minutemen would leave the field with heartbreak and Hawaii would travel 5,000 miles to pick up a 38-35 win. Very simply, the Minutemen are not a team that can be trusted spotting this kind of lumber. In this occasion, we will get on board and take the Eagles with the points. As mentioned, their offense has been playing better each week and the UMass defense has been more than accommodating to opponents all season long. An upset (if it should be called that) may be brewing in Hadley.
