The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and Louisiana Tech Bulldogs meet Tuesday in college football action at Joe Aillet Stadium. Here’s a Western Kentucky vs Louisiana Tech Prediction. This article will include a Western Kentucky vs Louisiana Tech Pick.
The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers ground game is averaging 122.3 yards per contest, and Marvis Parrish leads the way with 258 yards on 56 carries. Defensively, Western Kentucky is allowing 23.1 points and 403.1 yards per game. Jaylen Wester leads the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers with 39 tackles, Harper Holloman has 2 sacks and Jaylen Lewis has 2 interceptions.
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs beat UTEP, lost to Kennesaw State, and they play Sam Houston next. Louisiana Tech has won 6 of its last 10 games. Blake Baker is completing 61 percent of his passes for 649 yards, 3 touchdowns, and 1 interception. Eli Finley and Devin Gandy have combined for 440 receiving yards and 1 touchdown, while Marlion Jackson has 7 receptions.
The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs ground game is averaging 146.5 yards per contest, and Clay Thevenin leads the way with 261 yards and 3 touchdowns. Defensively, Louisiana Tech is allowing 17.2 points and 355.2 yards per game. Kolbe Fields leads the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs with 39 tackles, Mekhi Mason has 3 sacks and Jakari Foster has 3 interceptions.
You can talk yourself into Western Kentucky and the points, as it has a top-20 passing offense and LA Tech can’t defend the pass. However, Western Kentucky doesn’t run the ball or stop the run, and that’s usually a recipe for disaster on the road. Also, LA Tech has had an extra week to prepare for this game and that’s key given it’s also at home and laying a small number. Louisiana Tech has covered 6 of its last 8 games as a home favorite. We’re not getting enough points to give WKU a serious look in this spot. I’ll lay the tiny number with Louisiana Tech at home.
