South Alabama vs Auburn Prediction 

Auburn only scored 42 points in their win against Ball State last week, but they dominated the game and held Ball State to fewer than 100 yards. The Tigers have flexed some muscle in the first two weeks and should get an easy win here. South Alabama wasn’t great against Morgan State, but they did compete with Tulane last week. I really like how Jackson Arnold has looked at quarterback for Auburn and his ability to make plays on the ground is going to continue to be a nightmare for defenses. The Auburn defense should hold South Alabama to fewer than 17 points, while I expect the offense to explode for a huge day. Tale Auburn to cover this big number at home.
