LA Tech Bulldogs vs. Troy Trojans Prediction
I’m on LA Tech in this one. The Bulldogs continue to play well and knock off teams left and right just when you think they could be in some trouble, and I think that Troy is in for a bit of a letdown here after the big win over James Madison in their last game. I’m looking for a big performance here from LA Tech on the road as they continue to make a claim as the team in the Sun Belt this season. Give me the Bulldogs.
