4* Free Week 5 NCAA Betting Prediction: Louisiana +12.5
Minnesota’s passing game didn’t look good in their last game against Buffalo. I’m not anticipating a sudden turnaround, which is why I’m favoring Louisiana as 12.5-point underdogs.
My model has this one at 50 points total, so play the OVER 47.5.
