The current betting odds have South Alabama listed as a 13.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. South Alabama has looked really good in their last 2 games now and both of those were really good road tests. They went into Central Michigan and beat CMU by over 20 points on the road, but then they went into UCLA and lost by 1 point in a game they probably should have won as they were the better team. They have shown that they are the real deal this year and have a very good chance of competing for a Sun Belt title this season. They are not in the stronger division either and so they will be trying to roll over teams all year, and they will want to start their conference schedule next week coming off of a win in this game. LA Tech hasn't been good in their games and they have been blown out in their 2 road games too. Both games they lost by over 20 points and even though this is a weaker team they are playing now, they will still be on the road here where they haven't been good. South Alabama just took on 2 better teams on the road and almost won both games, now they have a worse team back at home here and this should be a blowout win for them. The best way to place a bet here is on South Alabama to cover the spread in this game.
