Arkansas State vs South Alabama Prediction
South Alabama may be the more talented team, is more battle tested and is at home, so it should be favored. However, neither Arkansas State nor South Alabama plays a lick of defense, and I’m not excited to lay points with teams that don’t defend. Arkansas State is 134th in total defense and 119th in scoring defense, while South Alabama is 69th in total defense but 120th in scoring defense. South Alabama is allowing an average of 33.8 points during its five-game losing streak. Again, South Alabama hasn’t had the easiest schedule in the world, but still, Arkansas State with a top-60 passing attack should be able to have some success. Give me the points.
