South Alabama picked up its fourth win in the last 5 games Saturday, edging the Texas State Bobcats 70-65 in OT.

Lines last updated Tuesday at 10:55 p.m. ET. Moneyline (ML) : South Alabama +280 (bet $100 to win $280) | Arkansas State -350 (bet $350 to win $100) : South Alabama +280 (bet $100 to win $280) | Arkansas State -350 (bet $350 to win $100) Against the spread (ATS) : South Alabama +8.5 (-110) | Arkansas State -8.5 (-110) : South Alabama +8.5 (-110) | Arkansas State -8.5 (-110) Over/Under (O/U): 141.5 (O: -110 | U: -110) South Alabama at Arkansas State picks and predictions Prediction Arkansas State 72, South Alabama 67 PASS. I think South Alabama (+280) can win this game outright, but I'd rather play it safe and take the points. BET SOUTH ALABAMA +8.5 (-110). This matchup feels way closer than the line suggests. It's the Sun Belt's best offense against one of its top defenses. The Red Wolves lead the conference in scoring at 79 points per game (PPG), while the Jaguars are giving up just 63.7 PPG. South Alabama dominated the first meeting — a 76-62 Jaguars home win Jan. 9 — winning by 14 and holding Arkansas State to just 62 points. But expecting a repeat seems like a stretch. The Jaguars come in hot, while Arkansas State has been in a bunch of tight games, with a few tough losses. This one should be another close battle. The key? Mistakes. South Alabama takes care of the ball with a -4.5 turnover differential, making it tough to put away late. Still, Arkansas State is at home, and it has been right there in recent games. If it keeps it close, it should have a shot to pull this one out in the end. BET UNDER 141.5 (-110). Both of these teams like to slow things down, and it shows in their betting trends. They've both hit the Under consistently, going a combined 19-30-1 O/U this season. The Under has cashed in 4 of the last 6 meetings, and Arkansas State has stayed Under in 7 of its last 10 overall. With South Alabama's strong defense setting the tone, this one has all the makings of a low-scoring battle. The smart play is the Under. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now!
