South Alabama Looks to Move Above .500

South Alabama comes into this game with a 6-6 record overall and they have won two of the last three games. In the last game against Texas State, the offense scored 44 points, but the defense gave up 52 points and that led to the defeat. Desmond Trotter had a strong game completing 18 of his 21 passes for 216 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. South Alabama on the season is averaging 30.9 points while their defense is giving up 21.9 points per game. In this game South Alabama’s defense is going to need to step up in a big way and put the pressure on Eastern Michigan.

In the last game against Buffalo, the defense was lights out giving up only 11 points and that led to the 13 point victory. Samson Evans had a strong game on the ground finishing with 22 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown. The defense also very strong against the pass and they are going to need the defense to step up here. Eastern Michigan on the season is averaging 20 points while their defense is giving up 24 points per game.

South Alabama vs Eastern Michigan Betting Prediction

South Alabama is going to struggle to score here. Eastern Michigan is giving up only 24 points per game and their defense is going to step up here. I also expect South Alabama’s defense is going to step up in a big way here and Eastern Michigan is going to struggle to get to 20 points. Both of the offenses are going to have some major issues and it will be lower scoring. Back the under to cash here.
