Neither Louisiana nor South Alabama is very good. The Jaguars, 2-6 overall, 1-3 in the Sun Belt Conference, certainly can't be trusted as a home favorite. They have failed to cover the past four times in this role, including all three this season. Not only did the Jaguars fail to cover, but they also lost straight up to Coastal Carolina, 38-20, as a 16-point favorite, and fell to Arkansas State, 15-14, as 9-point home chalk. Louisiana is also 2-6 overall and 1-3 in the Sun Belt. The statistics for both teams are very close. The Ragin’ Cajuns give up just one more point per game on average than South Alabama. They have covered seven of the last 10 times they've been road underdogs. This is a revenge spot for Louisiana. The Ragin’ Cajuns were 6.5-point favorites against the Jaguars last season and lost, 24-22. That was just the second time in the last nine meetings that Louisiana has lost to South Alabama. The Ragin’ Cajuns have won each of their last four road games against South Alabama. This one falls under the "bad vs. bad" category, so I'm taking the points. Dogs in this series have covered seven of the past eight meetings. Take Louisiana.

UL Lafayette at South Alabama

UL Lafayette will take to the road and face South Alabama this week. This is a huge game for both teams as they each come in at 4-3. The winner will be one game shy of being bowl-eligible while the loser drops to .500. South Alabama opened the season with a 5-turnover loss to Tulane. They have not turned the ball over five times since and that is a strong reason why the Jaguars are 4-2 since the opener. The Jags have to feel good about themselves as they have won their last two games by a combined score of 110-10. LA Lafayette has turned the ball over 11 times in their last five games. These teams have played a similar schedule in terms of strength and LA-Lafayette has outgained their schedule of opponents by 61 yards, and South Alabama a much more dominant 136 yards per game. South Alabama has out-scored opponents 40-18 on the season at home. I like South Alabama.
