South Alabama is one of the better teams in the Sun Belt and has proven itself on the road where it has seven road wins. South Alabama also beat Southern Miss this season already by 13 points. It’s a somewhat steep line for a road team, but there’s no getting behind Southern Miss. I’ll ride with South Alabama.
