Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns at Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks ATS Prediction
When comparing the second edition of this rivalry from a betting perspective to the first chapter this season, the value is actually on the Under. In the previous meeting, there were 130 total points scored with the closing market hovering around 144. Now, a steam move has pushed this market up with an additional point to spot. This situation has all the makings for Louisiana-Lafayette to rout Louisiana-Monroe yet again, regardless of the location of venue. The margin of victory in the previous meeting was 32 points and now ULL is being asked to spot five less points than it did in January.
However, the public is all over the Ragin Cajuns against the spread in this spot so therefore we will stay off as this could be a potential let-down scenario. As a result, we make an Over/Under play where we can take advantage of a friendly number. Therefore, we will pass on taking a side here and simply recommend booking the Under 145.
