The Miners are 8-3 ATS vs. a team with a losing record and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games in October. The Bulldogs are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games in October and 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. The under is 5-1 in Miners last 6 games overall. The over is 7-1 in Bulldogs last 8 games overall. The Miners are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Louisiana Tech and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
The UTEP Miners haven't had much success on the road dating back to last season, and they've had turnover issues as well, which don't help. The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs play their best ball at home, and it's fair to give them some grace given that 3 of their first 4 games have come on the road. Louisiana Tech also deserves some credit for hanging around with Clemson. While two hit or miss teams, it's fair to say La Tech is the better side here. I'll lay the points.
