Texas State is 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600 while the under is 5-0 in their last 5 road games. Louisiana is 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall while the under is 6-0 in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record.

Pick

I’m backing Louisiana here. Texas State’s had solid moments this season, but there’s a reason that Louisiana is atop the Sun Belt mountain coming into this game. The road team’s also won three straight meetings between these two teams and they’ve won those games handily. I look for this game to buck that trend with a convincing home win by ULL for their third straight win in this series.
