Texas State at Louisiana-Lafayette Game Prediction 02/15/2018
There has been a ton of optimism as to whether or not this Ragin’ Cajuns team can win the Sun Belt Conference outright and punch their ticket to March Madness. When you take into account their play overall this season, there is plenty of reason to believe they can. The Ragin' Cajuns have merely steamrolled their way through the conference and have outclassed pretty much every opponent they have come across. As a result of this, UL-Lafayette has been on the positive end of a lot of lop-sided victories. At home, in particular, ULL has clipped the offensive operations of opponents which have resulted in many Under plays being a profitable option.
The Bobcats do have a few aces in the hole here to make this game more competitive than the line forecasts. Texas State owns the better scoring defense and commits fewer turnovers than the Ragin' Cajuns. If the game has a flow like anything we saw in January, then the current Total number is too steep to climb as a result of a steam move. Chances are even if UL-Lafayette wins big again here it will be hard for them to help the number eclipse this figure unless Texas State's defense indeed lays an egg. The chances are that will not be the case as Texas State will respond to the last meeting between the two sides. Play the Under.
