Louisiana Must Win This Game
There is no reason a Louisiana team with this much talent should miss a bowl game, but if they want to make that bowl game, this is one they have to win. In the last game against Troy, Louisiana scored only 24 points and they ended up losing by seven points. Chandler Fields completed 29 of his 39 passes for 282 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. Louisiana on the season is averaging 30.5 points while their defense is giving up 28.8 points per game. In this game the running game needs to be good to take off some of the pressure.
Louisiana Betting Trends

- Louisiana has failed to cover the spread in six of its last seven games as a favorite against non-AP-ranked teams.

Shane’s Free Pick
Louisiana is in a must win, and they are going to find success here. Chandler Fields threw for three touchdowns in the last game and he’s going to have a huge game again here. Louisiana Monroe is averaging 17 points per game and their offense isn’t going to be anywhere close enough to find success in this game. This will be very comfortable win by Louisiana. Back Louisiana against the spread.
