Team Homepage Preview: https://ragincajuns.com/news/2020/12...e-rematch.aspx LAFAYETTE – Coming off a monster win at ULM, No. 20 Louisiana heads to Boone, N.C., to take on Appalachian State on Friday, Dec. 4. A rematch of the last two Sun Belt Conference Championship Games, the contest is slated to kick off at 7:30 p.m. CST in front of a national audience on ESPN.
Bet: Louisiana-Lafayette +3 (-120), bought the hook. Size: Average.
Reasons: ULL offense clicking. Put up 71 pts last game vs. ULM. Call that practice. ULL has never won at App St. (0-8), (0-4) since 2018 under coach Napier. Motivation.
Team is undefeated on the road, with victories at: Iowa St, Georgia St, UAB, Texas St, ULM.
Team is ranked in the Top 25 for the first time ever.
Weather hype overblown. Any lingering snow will be gone. Temps in the 40s tonight not 30s.
Wind and Rain not going to be that bad. only 1/2 inch of rain forecast for evening.

Notice the disparity between those expectations (article was written last night) - and the real weather reports
today. This weather hype has held the line, but that could continue to move in ULL favor this afternoon.
