Meanwhile, the Cajuns are 5-1 ATS in their last six at home and 8-2 ATS versus a team with a winning record. Louisiana is 5-2 ATS in the last seven on turf.
PICK: I’m probably staying with Louisiana, but not touching it. Both these teams had bad fourth quarters that cost them victories in their last appearances. The Cajuns specifically posted just 112 pass yards in their loss to the Trojans, along with a tepid 4.3 yards per play. All was going well until the 16-0 final quarter, though.
As for Georgia Southern, they surrendered 514 yards and 29 first downs in their latest loss, despite South Alabama’s three turnovers and 13 penalties. This next matchup should be a pretty tight one regardless, so I’m not going near it.
