Southern Miss vs South Alabama Prediction

South Alabama is coming off a nice win over UL Monroe, but it has yet to win back-to-back games this season. Southern Miss has simply been the better team this season by a wide margin, and a top-50 scoring offense should have a field day against this South Alabama defense. South Alabama will be up for this one given its senior day for 21 seniors, but it’s going to take more than that to move the needle. Southern Miss has simple been the more impressive team this season and has a chance to win 8 games for the first time since the 2017 season. I’ll lay the points.

Randy Chambers's Pick: Southern Mississippi -1.5
