The Citadel Bulldogs vs Appalachian State Mountaineers Pick and Prediction

Chase Brice will be the pick of the game. He has done great and has been very consistent. He's performing similarly to last season and is a key player going forward, with a completion percentage of over 60%. He also has 11 touchdowns this season.

The Appalachian State should win this game, as the offense of the Citadel is not strong enough to cause any major damage. The offense of Appalachian State will suffice the voids in the defense and should help the team get a win.
