The Troy Trojans hit the road for Ruston to battle the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in Sun Belt play. The Bulldogs lead the conference with a 6-2 record, and they can ill afford a loss to the erratic Trojans. Troy is a super difficult team to figure out this season. This is a team which lost to Mizzou by just 10 points, grabbing an easy cover. It was also blown out 33-6 at Louisiana, while losing at home to UL Monroe as a -13.5 favorite on October 24. So, last Saturday, of course Troy won at James Madison in OT, 24-21, as a 17.5-point underdog. Ugh.
Louisiana Tech has picked itself up off the mat after losses to LSU and Baylor earlier in the season, rattling off five straight victories, including shutouts against Old Dominion and the aforementioned ULM. The Bulldogs won 35-20 at South Alabama last time out, covering as a -6.5 favorite, covering for the third straight game, while going 7-1 ATS on the season.
Louisiana Tech vs Troy prediction: Louisiana Tech Bulldogs -5.5 (-104) at time of publishing. Playable to -6.5.
