Middle Tennessee vs Louisiana Tech Prediction

I’m with Middle Tennessee here. I think that the Blue Raiders are just the better team in better form not just as of late but in conference play this season as this is just not the conference season that Louisiana Tech had in mind I’m guessing. The Blue Raiders have been better than I’d have expected as this is a veteran-laden team that does their best work at home, so give me Middle Tennessee laying the points at home in this one.
