The UL Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns (8-4) and the San Diego State Aztecs (8-4) will meet up in the 2011 New Orleans Bowl, and the matchup looks to be a competitive one.
The game will be shown live on ESPN and kickoff is slated for 9:00 PM ET on December 17th.
The New Orleans Bowl will be the 3rd of 3 games shown on ESPN that day with the New Mexico Bowl and the Idaho Potato Bowl being played earlier in the day.
San Diego State is the favorite here despite having to travel out of state, and the current odds have the point spread at -4.5.
Close to 65% of tracked college football bettors are going with the Aztecs, yet the point spread hasn’t budged throughout the week.
The total of 58.5 has been bet down half of a point from its opener of 59.
The Aztecs are 4-1 on the road this season, giving them a sizeable edge against a UL Lafayette squad that has gone just 3-4 when traveling.
The Ragin’ Cajuns are also on a 2-game losing streak heading into this game after being on the wrong side of close scores against Arkansas State and Arizona.
UL Lafayette covered the point spread in both losses and has gone over the total in 4 of their previous 5 games.
San Diego State has won 4 of their last 5, suffering their only loss during that stretch against Boise State as an 18-point underdog.
The Ragin’ Cajuns have only covered the point spread in 2 of their last 16 games with the loss against the Broncos being one of them.
San Diego State has gone under the total in 3 of their last 4 games.
