Houston vs Louisiana-Lafayette Prediction
The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns didn’t look good in their only Game against a division one team, and they just lack the offensive firepower to comPete against a team like Houston. Louisiana has failed to cover 6 of its last 8 Games. The Houston Cougars are stacked, and they should have a fire in their belly after losing to Auburn. This Game shouldn’t be close. Give me Houston and the chalk.
