Louisiana Tech vs Florida International Prediction
FIU is getting the benefit of the doubt at home, where 9 of its 11 wins have come, but laying points with a team that’s lost 8 of its last 10 games isn’t ideal. We just saw FIU lose to Delaware as a 7.5-point favorite. FIU lost to Jacksonville State, UTEP, and Sam Houston lately as favorites. Sure, LA Tech has issues of its own, but we’re also not being asked to lay points. LA Tech has also won 9 of the last 10 games against FIU. If forced to pick a side, I want points in my pocket. Give me LA Tech.
