Alabama vs Arkansas State Prediction
Arkansas State had issues putting away Akron in its season debut, and that’s not ideal heading into this matchup. Alabama has probably its best team in school history and this is a legit title contender. Alabama did whatever it wanted in its season opener and should be able to do more of the same here. Arkansas State just doesn’t have the offensive firepower to scare Alabama. I’ll lay the points.
