Why Bet On Southern Miss at +39?
The only reasons to back the Golden Eagles is because they’re getting a ton of points.

For the season, Abraham has thrown for 990 yards with five touchdowns and three interceptions. They are averaging a healthy 33.0 points per game, but the Golden Eagles are also allowing a generous 30.0 points per game defensively.

Expert Analysis and Prediction for Southern Miss vs Alabama
While I have absolutely no doubt that Alabama is going to win this game, I’m going to go with Southern Miss to cover the huge spread because of their ability to put points on the board this season and the fact that I believe the Crimson Tide will take their foot off the gas pedal sometime shortly after the hal.
Southern Miss is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 non-conference games while Alabama has gone an uninspiring 1-5 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games and winless 0-5 ATS in their last five games following an SU win.I like the Golden Eagles for the backdoor cover as nearly six touchdown road dogs and you should too!
Pick: Southern Miss +39
