Sam Houston vs Louisiana Tech Prediction
Sam Houston is expected to get their starting quarterback back for this game, after he missed last week, which resulted in only 10 points being scored. The Bearkats have been fantastic this season and Watson has a lot to do with that. Louisiana Tech has won two of their last three games and Bullock has been pretty good at quarterback, but I think they are going to struggle on both sides of the ball here. Take Sam Houston at home.
