Louisiana vs South Alabama Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with a 1-3 conference record and a 2-6 overall record, but one team will stay alive for a bowl game with a win here. South Alabama finally snapped their losing streak with a win last week and they have had a few close losses this year, so they are just a couple of plays away from a much better record. Louisiana has lost three games in a row, with all three coming by at least 10 points. I think South Alabama is much better than their record would indicate, as they battled Tulane and Auburn very hard earlier this year. Take the Jaguars at home here.
