Why bet on Ohio versus Louisiana?

Ohio is much better than what they’ve shown. The Bobcats fell 9-29 to Syracuse in their first game and then lost by 2 points, 26-28, against Duquesne in their second. Because of the losses, the Bobcats enter this a massive underdog. Expect Ohio to perform better in this than they have so far this season. Also, Ohio gets 20 points versus UL-Lafayette.

Why bet on Louisiana versus Ohio?

Although they haven’t covered in a couple of games, Louisiana has played well. The Ragin’ Cajuns beat Nicholls State, a top FCS team, 27-24 in their last. In the game before, UL-Lafayette hung with Texas until the Longhorns blew the game open in the second half. Louisiana’s offense has yet to get on track. Once it does, the Cajuns should start scoring over 35 points with ease.

Ohio versus Louisiana Final Betting Prediction

This is one of those tough games where neither squad has lived up to the hype. The Ragin’ Cajuns, though, entered the season with much more hype than Ohio.

So it’s disturbing that Louisiana almost fell to an FCS team. Sure, Nicholls State is one of the better FCS squads in the nation. But they’re still an FCS squad. What happens when Louisiana faces Coastal Carolina?

The Ragin’ Cajuns could get their offense back on track. More than likely, though, UL-Lafayette continues to struggle in some way. The Bobcats aren’t a good football team. But Ohio has 20 points to work with in this. The road team is the pick to cover.
