Free Betting Pick: UNDER 59.5 in Arkansas State
The numbers on defense for the Red Wolves have been skewed by the fact that they had to play Alabama this season. Just like Appalachian State gave up a lot of points versus Penn State, Arkansas State gave up a lot of points versus the Crimson Tide. However, in their other 4 games they've allowed an average of just 22.3 points per game.
Given the above, a lower scoring game than many are expecting is absolutely in the forecast here. The best bet (value) is to play the under with a projected final score of Appalachian State 34, Arkansas State 17
