4* Free NCAA Betting Pick: Arkansas State +36.5
This is a talented Arkansas State squad that is going to give Alabama all they got, but Alabama shouldn’t have a problem claiming victory in this one, the question is can they cover the large spread.
Alabama just handled what was thought to be a potent Louisville offense and should be riding into this game on a high, so who knows how serious they are going to take Arkansas State, especially with a big showdown with Ole Miss on the road next week.
Arkansas State has the passing attack that should be able to produce some points, which should be enough for them to cover such a large spread as Alabama will probably want to pound the rock and eat the clock against this inferior opponent.
Take the points and back the road team in this one.
