Arkansas State vs. South Alabama prediction, pick:

Arkansas State's 2-4 record is not indicative of who they are as a team. Two losses have been by a touchdown, one of which is to a Power Four team, Iowa State, in a game they could have won. The same sentiment goes for South Alabama as well. The Jaguars have lost a game by two points and last week in overtime.

Expect this game to be more competitive than the records show. For the Red Wolves, their offense starts with QB Jaylen Raynor, who has 1,451 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, 196 rushing yards, and four rushing TDs. Stopping him stops their offense.

South Alabama wants to run the ball. Kentrel Bullock has 496 yards and five touchdowns on the year already and splits time with other backs, PJ Martin (268 yards, 1 TD) and Keenan Phillips (257 yards), to lead an offense with 1,215 rushing yards on the year.

South Alabama, the favorite, gets enough push on the ground to chew the clock, but Arkansas State sticks around to make this thing tight late.

Prediction: South Alabama 26, Arkansas State 22

Best Bet: Arkansas State +7
