Marshall vs. Louisiana-Lafayette Prediction and Pick
Earlier this week, Matt De Saro jumped on the UL bandwagon at a higher price.
Despite these numbers, I am wary of trusting Marshall here against one of the hottest teams in the nation. The Cajuns have a high quality of defense and are able to put up scores in bunches against most of their opponents. The Herd lost two of three heading into Bowl Season and have one of the worst rushing defenses in all of college football. ...Give me the Ragin’ Cajuns because they are red-hot, going against a bad rushing defense and also playing in their own backyard.
The Ragin' Cajuns were my best bet of the week, so I’m sticking with them at this lower number.
Pick: UL-Lafayette -4 (-110)
