Louisiana Tech vs Georgia Southern Prediction
The Georgia Southern Eagles have had offensive issues when playing decent teams this season, and I doubt things are going to improve on the road. The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs like to push the pace, shoot well from everywhere on the floor, and they’re 6-2 ATS on the season. Thick line, but I doubt Georgia Southern has the horses to keep up offensively. Give me Louisiana Tech in a comfortable win Friday night.
