Louisiana is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against a team with a losing record and 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 home games while the over is 7-1 in their last 8 Wednesday games.
Pick
I’m leaning towards Louisiana. This is a big number to lay, but the Cajuns more often than not have done their best work at home and all of their recent struggles have come on the road. Arkansas State has been a disaster for the better part of the season and I don’t see that changing here against one of the better teams in the conference. Give me the Cajuns.
