Despite the lack of public familiarity Arkansas State and Georgia State make a great match. Both are among the most under the radar programs of the season so far. Coach Blake Anderson’s tragic 2019 loss of his wife Wendy to breast cancer caught national attention to Arkansas State. Further the Red Wolves have made a betting on College Football bowl every year since 2011. Most squares don’t even know that Georgia State plays football. And only bet Sun Belt Conference games when there is nothing else available.
