Georgia State Panthers (5-1) vs. Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (4-2)
The Georgia State Panthers head to Cajun Field in Lafayette, Louisiana, on Saturday night to take on the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns in the Sun Belt Conference showdown. It’s Week 8 of the 2023 college football season, and we have prepared the best Georgia State vs. Louisiana betting pick and odds.
The Panthers are winless in six meetings with the Ragin’ Cajuns. Back in 2021, Louisiana beat Georgia State 21-17 as a strong 13.5-point home fave. The Ragin’ Cajuns are 3-point home favorites this time around, while the totals sit at 63.0 points.
The Georgia State Panthers (5-1; 4-2 ATS; 2-1 Conf.) are coming off a 41-24 home victory over Marshall in Week 7. After enjoying a bye in Week 6, the Panthers bounced back from a 28-7 home loss to Troy, taking full advantage of Marshall’s lousy defense. They had 42 carries for 240 yards and kept the ball in possession for 35:17.
Senior running back Marcus Carroll led the way for the Panthers last Saturday, tallying 28 totes for 159 yards and a touchdown. Senior signal-caller Darren Grainger completed 21 of his 31 passing attempts and tossed for 234 yards and a touchdown while scoring twice on his own, and junior wideout Tailique Williams added six receptions for 129 yards and a TD.
Darren Grainger is a proper dual-t hreat QB, and he’s already accounted for 350 rushing yards and five touchdowns on 70 rushing attempts. Grainger has completed 68.5 percent of his passing attempts thus far while throwing for 1,421 yards, eight touchdowns, and a couple of interceptions. Marcus Carroll has 742 rushing yards and ten touchdowns on his tally, and junior WR Robert Lewis leads the receiving corps with 30 catches for 536 yards and five touchdowns.
Georgia State is scoring 32.7 points per game (tied-41st in the nation) on 236.8 passing yards (64th) and 185.0 rushing yards (36th). The Panthers are surrendering 23.8 points in return (tied-59th) on 300.7 passing yards (126th) and 111.2 rushing yards (27th).
