Independence Bowl: Houston (-7, 57) vs. Louisiana
Dave Tuley: This isn’t one of my strongest plays of the bowl season (and I’m reluctant to put my 2-0 ATS bowl record—on BYU and Western Kentucky—on the line with such a lukewarm opinion), but I’m taking Louisiana (6-6) plus the points against Houston.
Louisiana comes out of the underrated Sun Belt and has four key players that have opted out of the Independence Bowl: RB Chris Smith, WRs Michael Jefferson and Dontae Fleming, plus DE Andre Jones. In addition, the Ragin’ Cajuns will be playing a backup QB as Ben Wooldridge is out with a lower-body injury.
