Red Wolves vs Golden Eagles Best Picks and Prediction
The Red Wolves have dropped four of their opening six contests, including all three on the road. Although they have been effective offensively, they have struggled on the road, where they are only averaging 23 points per contest.
Although they don't run the ball well, their passing attack is strong. Unluckily for them, the Golden Eagles are strong against the pass, so they plan on them to restrain their offense.
Three of the Golden Eagles' first five games have ended in losses. They don't have a great offense, but they can chuck the ball, especially against weak opposition.
Choose Southern Mississippi to cover the spread because the Red Wolves' sub-par pass defense will make it difficult for them to contain the Golden Eagles.
Pick: Under 53.5 (-110)
Prediction: Southern Mississippi -4.5 (-110)
