Northwestern State vs South Alabama Prediction

The Northwestern State Demons are obviously not a good team, as they’re a low-level FCS program and haven’t shown much fight defensively. The South Alabama Jaguars should win this game comfortably. However, South Alabama also has been underwhelming through two games, and it’s failed to cover 6 of its last 8 games. South Alabama is 0-2 SU this season despite being favored in both games. This is the biggest favorite South Alabama has been since a 2017 meeting against Alabama A&M. I’m not laying this many points with the Jaguars. Give me Northwestern State and the boatload of points.
