Louisiana vs Texas State Prediction
Louisiana comes into this matchup on a four-game winning streak and they are undefeated in conference play. The Ragin’ Cajuns have scored at least 34 points in three of their last four games, but they will be back on the road here. Texas State has won two of their last three games, but they only managed 14 points in their last game against Old Dominion. The Bobcats have been inconsistent over their last four games and I don’t want to lay more than a field goal with them. Take the points with Louisiana.
David’s Pick Louisiana +3
