Betting on the Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (<\/span>+7.0<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Record: 6-6 Overall\/4-4 Conference<\/h4>\n

After losing to the Florida State Seminoles on the road on Nov. 19, the Ragin\u2019 Cajuns rebounded with a morale-boosting 41-13 victory over the Texas State Bobcats, also away from home, the following week, 41-13. It was not a sexy victory that carried much weight, but it still got Louisiana a nice boost heading into the Independence Bowl. The Ragin\u2019 Cajuns\u2019 offense is not much to write home about, as they averaged only 27.3 points per game, which only was 67th overall in the nation. It\u2019s their defense that inspires more confidence. It\u2019s got an opportunistic pass defense that was 16th in the regular season in the nation with a 3.58 defensive interception rate.<\/p>\n

Louisiana is 9-3 against the spread versus a team with a winning record.<\/p>\n

Betting on the Houston Cougars (<\/span>-7.0<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Record: 7-5 Overall\/5-3 Conference<\/h4>\n

Unlike the Ragin\u2019 Cajuns, Houston is coming into this bowl game coming off a loss, having lost to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane in the Cougars\u2019 regular-season finale, 37-30. That said, there\u2019s a reason Houston is the favorite over Louisiana. For one, they have a great quarterback in Clayton Tune, who passed for 3,845 yards and 37 touchdowns against only 10 interceptions. He also led the Cougars in 2022 with 489 rushing yards and five rushing scores on 117 carries. Plus, Tune will get help in the bowl game from wideout Nathaniel Dell, who could one day find himself in the NFL. Dell collected 1,354 receiving yards and 15 touchdown receptions this season. As a team, the Cougars are 12th nationally with 37.2 points per game.<\/p>\n

Houston is 13-5 against the spread in its last 18 Friday games.<\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Houston wins, 33-24.<\/p>\n
