Prediction
Both schools had poor performances prior to their bye week, and now, with the extra time off, they should be fresh and ready to go. MTSU has one of the worst defenses in the NCAA, and their offense has not even been close to good, so it’s no surprise that their only win has come against an FCS school. Louisiana Tech hasn’t been good either, as their only win is also facing an FCS side. Also, both of the Bulldogs’ home games have gone under this season, and I don’t trust either offense to really get going here, so we’re rolling with an alternate under at plus money.
Final Pick
Alternate Total Under 46.5 (+135)
