COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Louisiana Tech enters at 3-2 with a two-game winning streak, scoring 35.2 points per game and averaging 403.4 yards per game, including 251.8 through the air and 151.6 on the ground. The Bulldogs have also been solid on defense by comparison, allowing 29.4 points and 379.0 yards per game. UL Monroe is 0-5 and has allowed 44.6 points and 511.8 yards per game, a major issue against a Louisiana Tech attack that has been efficient in both the passing and rushing games. UL Monroe is producing 24.0 points and 365.4 yards per game, but its defense has put the offense in too many high-scoring games to this point.
Louisiana Tech should control the game, but the better value is on points rather than a side because both teams have trended toward higher-scoring results. The Bulldogs have the more reliable offense and the better defense, while UL Monroe has struggled to stop anyone and has allowed too many explosive yardage totals. That points to a final score of Louisiana Tech Bulldogs 38, UL Monroe Warhawks 24, which supports the over and leaves the side price less appealing than the total.
