Middle Tennessee vs Louisiana Tech Prediction

The Louisiana Tech Bulldogs are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home, where they’re 8-1 SU. But the truth is these are two of the best teams in the C-USA, so you can’t go wrong with either side. I see value in grabbing the points, and that just happens to be Middle Tennessee. The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders have four road wins this season, and they’re 11-4-2 ATS on the year. Middle Tennessee is also 5-2-1 ATS in its last eight games as an underdog, and four of those covers were outright wins. Middle Tennessee has also covered seven of the last 10 games against LA Tech. Give me the points in what should be a well-played contest.
