South Alabama vs Arkansas State Prediction
Arkansas State is getting all of the love from oddsmakers because it’s at home, where it’s 12-1 SU on the season. However, this line is disrespectful toward a South Alabama team that beat Arkansas State last month by 14 points while allowing 31 percent shooting. South Alabama has six road wins on the season, and we just saw Arkansas State lose to Troy as a 6.5-point favorite. South Alabama hasn’t done well in the underdog role and has failed to cover seven of its last 10 games overall. Still, there’s not much separating either team. Give me South Alabama and the points.
