Louisiana started off on a 2-3 run over their first five games, losing to Rice, LA-Monroe and South Alabama. The Cajuns hit a 3-2 run in their next five with wins over Marshall, Arkansas State and Georgia Southern. 

In Saturday’s game versus Florida State, Louisiana was down 35-3 by halftime. The Cajuns managed some cosmetic points in the fourth but it was a blowout loss 49-17. QB Chandler Fields had 159 yards and a score. Michael Jefferson caught six balls for 60 yards and a TD.  

Over on the Texas State side, they went 2-3 in their first five games as well, beating only FIU and Houston Baptist. The Bobcats beat App State, then lost to Troy, Southern Miss, LA-Monroe and South Alabama in succession. 

Matched up against Arkansas State, Texas State faced a 10-3 deficit by the fourth quarter. The Bobcats surged for 13 points from there in a 16-13 comeback win. QB Layne Hatcher put up 196 yards, and Lincoln Pare led the rush with 75 yards and a score. 

The Cajuns are 6-2 ATS in their last eight after an ATS loss and 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. The over is 6-2 in Louisiana’s last eight road games. 

Meanwhile, the Bobcats are 6-1 ATS in their last seven after an ATS loss and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 in November. Texas State is 2-5 ATS in their last seven after a straight-up win. 

PICK: I’m probably sticking with Texas State. Not going near this one, though. The Bobcats had a rough game versus Arkansas State until the fourth quarter. Texas State would finish with 340 total yards and 19 first downs in a lucky victory. 

As for Louisiana, they were beaten up by Florida State in their last outing, giving up 440 yards, 23 first downs and 11-of-15 on third-down tries to the Seminoles offense. This will obviously be an easier matchup, but it’s tough to trust the Cajuns after such a choppy season.
