South Alabama coach Richie Riley brought back just two starters from a year ago but he has his team playing well at 10-4 on the season. A lot of the success has been due to a cream puff early schedule that saw them win eight-straight, including three vs. extreme cupcakes. The competition has ramped up some and they are 1-2 in their last three despite being favored in all. Appalachian St. is just 7-8 but has played a much stronger schedule that includes the likes of Duke and North Carolina. Appalachian State takes care of the ball as they have committed fewer than 10 turnovers in six of their last 12 and no more than 13 in any of the 12 games. South Alabama, as the competition has ramped up has turned the ball over an average of 15.6 times per game contest. I see some hidden value here and will make the play on Appalachian State
