Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns vs. Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Prediction
I’m on LA Tech here. Louisiana has looked solid so far, but this LA Tech defense and the lines for LA Tech are where the Bulldogs hold a serious edge and I just don’t think the Cajuns will be able to hold up against this Bulldogs front. I think LA Tech wins this one comfortably so give me the Bulldogs at home in this one.
