Middle Tennessee vs. Louisiana Tech Prediction

I’m leaning towards Louisiana Tech here. The Bulldogs may be rolling a QB by-committee system, but they can still move the ball through the air and Middle Tennessee has the worst pass defense in the country. The Blue Raiders have a decent offense, but LA Tech’s defense is more trustworthy, and it doesn’t help you when you have a decent offense but have a defense that can’t stop a nosebleed. Give me the Bulldogs.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: LA Tech -4.5
