Louisiana vs Troy Prediction

I’m on Louisiana here. I get the allure of backing Troy as they’re out to play spoiler, but Louisiana has all of the motivation here as a win would go a long way towards punching their ticket to the Sun Belt title Game, and Louisiana also has senior day happening here so you know the Cajuns will want to go out on top in a big way. This has just been a transition year for Troy and it’s shown that way more often than not. I’ll back the Cajuns in this one.
