Arkansas State vs Louisiana Prediction

Arkansas State has been the better team this season by a wide margin and already smoked Louisiana by 20 points a little over a month ago. It’s not shocking to see the line this heavy. However, Louisiana has come out of nowhere with three straight wins and outright upsets, and that includes beating Troy on the road as a 15-point underdog. Louisiana has improved greatly defensively and is now home for the senior night with a roster that has six seniors. Louisiana will be up for this game and should be a confident bunch after recent wins. Give me the points with the Ragin Cajuns. 

Randy Chambers's Pick: Louisiana +10.5
