    Tulane at Louisiana Tech Thursday

    This is the only Thursday game I haven't touched on yet, mainly because I don't have an opinion either way. The knee-jerk reaction would be Tulane +7 because they have a game-changing receiver in Ryan Grant and a quarterback in Nick Montana (son of Joe) who passed for over 300 yards in a tough 41-39 loss to South Alabama last week going up against a horrific La Tech pass defense. However, the thing that bothers me is that the Green Wave defense is also capable of making any offense look good.

    But the real wild card here is the Louisiana Tech offense. The Bulldogs led the country in scoring and total offense last year but they lost all of their firepower and they only have 41 points in two games after halving some HALVES last year where they scored 41 points, You can just about forgive scoring 14 points vs. NC State because as bad as the ACC is, it is still better than what La Tech is used to facing. But then they only scored 27 points vs. LAMAR! So my initial leans were Tulane + Under 57, but after Tulane made the South Alabama offense look like Oregon, there is always the chance the same thing could happen here, especially on the road, and that could blow up both of my initial leans. In a nutshell, nothing in this game would surprise me so I am staying far far away.

    If you want to have a little bit of fun and have a few extra shingles to play with, maybe play two parlays of Tulane/Under and La Tech/Over.

    If you have to play this game, you are desperate, which is exactly what the books look for. Pass.
