Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns vs. Eastern Michigan Eagles Pick
Spread Pick for Louisiana vs. Eastern Michigan
- Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns -140 (5 units)
There is a significant difference between these two teams and it is clear. The Eagles are struggling offensively and are one of the worst defenses in college football. They are three games in and have recorded one sack and have zero takeaways, which means the Ragin Cajuns can simply not worry about shaky pass protection and Daniel Beale will have a clean pocket for a majority of the game. All in all, go with the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns to win on the road.
Over/Under Pick for Louisiana vs. Eastern Michigan
- Over 49.5 (5 units)
Similar thought process as the moneyline pick, when we have a defense that is not getting stops or forcing turnovers, where do the points go? They have allowed at least 48 points in two of their three games and they still allowed 28 to Long Island University. Louisiana may not be much of an offensive threat, but with the Eastern Michigan defense, who isn’t? Take over 49.5 total points as both teams should be able to score at a relatively good level throughout the game.
