College Football: Houston Cougars -7 over Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (-110), 3:00 pm ET
This afternoon, the Houston Cougars will square off with the Ragin' Cajuns of Louisiana in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl. Louisiana comes in at 6-6 and Houston at 7-5.
I have no problem taking Houston in this one, even with the spread up to a touchdown now. Louisiana is a defense-minded team, but missing a key linebacker. Houston also has a strong offense led by QB Clayton Tune, who has thrown for 37 TDs this season. Houston's season was supposed to have been built around a ferocious defense, but it has been too generous this season. Still, I expect that defense to look strong against a depleted Ragin' Cajun offense. For that reason, backing the Cougars will be the play.
