This Louisiana Tech team almost beat Texas A&M .. Granted they were down 21-0 at one point i believe but then made a close game.
Texas A&M made that tech defense look bad. But Texas A&M also made Alabama defense look bad.
I like Louisiana Tech from a fan stand point b/c they are exciting but they truly don't have any kind of home field advantage like a big school would have.
Their stadium is tiny. I think Utah State has a much better defense than Louisiana Tech.
But then again Utah State hasn't really lit up the score board this year..
Does anyone think Utah State can win in a high scoring game?
Is Utah States defense better than Texas A&M's?
i'm a bit surprised only 54% are on LA tech, i would think they would be a huge public favorite b/c they are playing at home , getting points and they score 100 points a game...
but then again I think Utah State is maybe favored for a reason. I watched a little bit of Utah State tape and they look like they have some athletes on offense. Maybe they win big here , who knows?? starting to lean Utah State though only b/c i don't feel like home field advantage matters in a high school stadium

I don't know how anyone can call this game on the spread...... But the OVER, seems to be an excellent play I agree!!! This La Tech team is amazing. They score at will! But on defense, they can't stop anyone it seems like. I took the La Tech over last week, it freaking covered the 74 points by HALFTIME! I was literally laughing my arss off! That is prob 5 or 6 overs I hit on La Tech this season & they won by a mile! Almost 80 points at half ya'll??? That is insane.
And this Utah St team can score!!! They seem to put up 50 on everyone & with La Tech defense, HOW on earth do they not put up 45-50 or more??? Holy crap, this final could be 96-85, LOL!!! Prob not, but I can see this game going nuts. I have no idea what the total is, but I might go over if it is anything under 80.
Definitely looking at this one this weekend, no question! IF Utah St and La Tech don't go over, the book can have my damn money. That is something I will have to SEE to believe. Just my two cents

A combination of playing decent D & scoring at will could clinch Utah St a win. I do wonder if Utah's D is overrated b/c they haven't played any truly dynamic offenses this season?
Last four games Utah St averaged 44 points. Even if Utah St holds LA Tech to a below average score, you've easily got an 80+ game. I agree on the over.

LA tech at home getting points? Did anybody see what they did to a team that just beat ALABAMA? The A&M/LA TECH game was the best of the year so far. I won't say LA is a lock, but I think they are definitely the side to be on.

They have an ENORMOUS homefield advantage. Do you know how hard it is to get to Ruston, Louisiana, from a place like Logan, Utah?

La Tech played one of the weakest schedules in college football and the Texas AM game was a fluke.
La Tech beat Texas State last Saturday by a touchdown only.

If Utah State played Kansas State, bookmakers' heads would explode.

yeah but with this logic you could say Texas A&M game against Alabama was a fluke .. you take away the Alabama win for Texas A&M and they haven't beaten anybody

its a lil bit strange LA tech is at home and the underdog here when they play in the same conference as Utah State and have a better record

haven't checked today but i don't think every service has them as perfect ATS. but it's been great.
and to think that me and others thought Utah State was too trendy a pick vs. wisconsin way back when.
