A rematch of Sun Belt Conference East Division foes pits the Georgia Southern Eagles against the Appalachian State Mountaineers in the 2025 Birmingham Bowl on Monday. Georgia Southern closed out the regular season with a 24-19 win at Marshall on Nov. 29, while Appalachian State was beaten 30-29 by Arkansas State that same day. The Eagles (6-6), who finished fourth in the division at 4-4, have won three of their last four games. The Mountaineers (5-7), who were sixth in the division at 2-6, have lost five of their last six. They made the postseason at 5-7 due to a lack of .500 teams that accepted bids. Georgia Southern star running back OJ Arnold is questionable with an injury, while App. State’s quarterback plans are unclear with both AJ Swann and JJ Kohl heading to the portal.
Kickoff from Protective Stadium in Birmingham, Ala., is at 2 p.m. ET. Georgia Southern won 25-23, covering as a 5.5-point underdog, when these teams met on Nov. 6. This time around, the Eagles are 10-point favorites in the Georgia Southern vs. Appalachian State odds, while the over/under for total points scored is 57.5, down two point from the opening line.
