Louisiana Tech at Utah State

Utah State is down this year, no question about it. They are are 2-5 heading into this game but this still is a program with a ton of pride, and one that is not used to losing. Getting more than a touchdown on their home field is a gift that we'll take. We're getting this much because Utah State has dropped three straight. But, they covered the spread in two of those three games and they are 2-1 SU and ATS this season at home. Also, La. Tech has done most of their damage on their home field this season and have struggled away from home (they are 0-3 ATS on the road, getting outscored by 20 points per game). Witness their 37-27 loss at Nevada. This is not a quick and easy trip for them heading into the mountains of Utah. Home underdogs passing for 130-175 yards/game facing an average passing defense (175-230 PY/game are 56-20 (74%) over the last 5 seasons. USU for three stars.
