College Football Odds Troy Trojans vs UL Lafayette Ragin Cajuns

Sun Belt football on Thursday night and we will see the Troy Trojans travel to Lafayette, Louisiana to take on the UL Lafayette Ragin Cajuns. The game will televised on ESPN U and has a start time of 7:30 pm (Eastern). Vegas odds have UL Lafayette listed as 12.5 point favorites, while the total sits at 67.

Analysis: The Troy Trojans come in at 5-4 overall and 3-2 within the Sun Belt Conference. The Trojans are off a tough 49-37 home loss to UL Monroe on Halloween night, with the loss snapping their 3 game win streak. The Trojans are led on offense by QB Corey Robinson, who has thrown for 2557 yards with 18 Tds and 8 INTs this year. He is a the reason why the Trojans are ranked 14th in the nation in passing. Another big part of the passing game is Eric Thomas, who has 742 receiving yards and 10 TD's on the year. Overall this offense is 23rd In yards (479.6 ypg) and 35th in scoring (34.4 ppg). Now on the defensive side of the ball this team is bad, ranking 111th overall and 124th vs the pass, while allowing 34.6 ppg (105th). Strong offense and weak defense is a big reason why the OVER is 8-1 in their games this year.

The Lafayette Ragin Cajuns are 6-2 on the year and 3-0 in the sun Belt, but nearly had an embarrassing lost last week to New Mexico State, as they fell behind 21-0 before winning 49-35 as 32 point favorites. The Cajun do come in on a 6 game win streak and have been for the most part pretty dominant during the streak, winning their 6 games by an average of 23.1 ppg. ULL has been a good offensive team this year, ranking 45th in yards (443.8 ypg) and 24th in scoring (37.9 ppg). They have struggled in the passing game (77th), but the ground attack that is led by Alonzo Harris (655 yards 12 Tds) is ranked 18th in the nation, averaging 226.8 ypg on the year. The defense has been pretty average this year, ranking 42nd overall and 59th in points allowed (25.6 ppg), but they will have to be better than average vs this Troy offense in this one.

Pick: I do like the over in this one. Troy can score a bunch as they have averaged 34.4 ppg, but their defense has just been awful this year ranking 111th overall, while allowing 34.6 ppg. The ULL offense has been on fire during their 6 game win streak as they have averaged 43.7 ppg over that stretch, plus they have averaged 557 ypg and 57 ppg at home this year. They should be good for at least 42 in this one, while the Trojans should put up at least 30 of their own. This one should be played in the 70's.
