From the booth
The model favored LT to win, and the call landed.
Louisiana Tech's got this one locked down at 99 percent, and it's not even close. The Bulldogs are sitting on a massive 44-point spread advantage over Northwestern State, and Vegas, the betting market, and the pure talent gap all agree this is a blowout waiting to happen. Tech's been playing well lately and they've got the horses to put this one away early. Northwestern State's gonna need a miracle just to keep it respectable.
