Nicholls State vs Louisiana-Lafayette Prediction

The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns I guess are the better team on paper, but they have just one win on the season and are 0-6 ATS. Louisiana hasn’t shown much effort on the defensive side and lacks the scoring depth to scare opponents. The Nicholls Colonels haven’t beaten anybody worth mentioning, but at least they’re winning games, and they’ve been decent defensively. I’m not excited about this game overall, but there’s no way I’m laying points with the Ragin’ Cajuns. Give me Nicholls and the bucket.
