South Alabama vs Louisiana Prediction

I really don’t trust this Louisiana offense and they are going to really struggle to get the offense going here. South Aabalama’s defense is giving up only 62.5 points per game and they are going to dominate here. Louisiana’s offense is going to struggle to get to the 70-point mark and it’s going to be South Alabama that is going to end up getting the job done here. Back South Alabama against the spread.
