Free Betting Pick: Arkansas State Red Wolves -2.5
The Florida International Panthers have a nice win over Miami this season, but they have been inconsistent this season, especially on the offensive side of the ball which won’t play out well against an explosive Arkansas State team. The Red Wolves have been amazing on the offensive side of the ball this season as they are averaging 33.7 PPG, and a huge reason for that is WR Omar Bayless as he has compiled 1473 yards and 16 TDs. Florida International can key in on Bayless, but the Red Wolves have Jonathan Adams Jr. and Kirk Merritt who each have over 700 yards, and we can’t forget about their respectable ground game. The Florida International offense will have a tough time matching the Arkansas State offense as they are only averaging 26.5 PPG, and I expect the Arkansas State defense to come up with a key stop late in the game. Final Score Prediction, Arkansas State Red Wolves win and cover ATS 34-27.
