Appalachian State vs Arkansas State Prediction 

Appalachian State was able to snap their long losing streak with a win over Marshall last week and they will try to gain bowl eligibility here. The Mountaineers have struggled on both sides of the ball and even in last week’s win, they allowed a ton of yards. Arkansas State has dropped two games in a row, as they also search for their sixth win. The Red Wolves have been an interesting team this year, as their offense should be much better than it has been. I do think Arkansas State’s defense is the better unit and I just can’t trust this App State team with how many yards they are allowing. Take Arkansas State here.
