vs
The Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns covered the spread as big favorites in their season opener a week ago and hope to make it three in a row dating back to last year when they host the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, who are coming off a 48-16 loss at Oklahoma but still managed to beat the line.
The Ragin' Cajuns had failed to cover five straight heading into the New Orleans Bowl, with a victory there against Tulane starting their two-game winning streak. The Bulldogs barely covered the 34-point spread against the Sooners, although it was still good enough to snap a three-game skid vs. the number.
