Western Kentucky vs Louisiana Tech Prediction

In their previous meeting last season, Louisiana Tech won 12-7 on the road, and both teams are tied 4-4 in their 8 meetings, and 2-2 in their 4 meetings in Louisiana Tech. Under is 3-1 in their last 4 meetings.

In this Western Kentucky vs Louisiana Tech Prediction, Louisiana Tech is coming as -3.5-point home favorites, with the total set at 50 points. Both teams are coming off defeats that ended their previous winning streaks, and are both looking to bounce back. The Bulldogs have won and covered all of their three home games this season, and boast the 17^th-best defense in the country and both teams have been playing lower-scoring games lately, as they are a perfect 7-0 to the under in their last 7 games combined, allowing 40.3 points per game combined this season. Last season they combined for just 19 points, and I expect another low-scoring affair today. Take the under 50 points in this one.
