Arkansas State vs. Marshall Prediction

I’m on Arkansas State in this game. I just think that the Red Wolves are the class of the Sun Belt this season and this was my pick coming into the season to win the conference. We still have plenty of time to see if that’s the case, but this Red Wolves team is one that I trust to get the job done home or away this season and I think that they can get it done on the road again in this game. Give me Arkansas State laying the points in this one on the road.
