Betting Trends for vs
SMU will pick up a victory on its home court Tuesday over Louisiana, but will fail to cover the number. The Mustangs have failed to cover the number in each of their first four games of the regular season. SMU is shooting terribly at 37.9% overall and 25.0% from three-point territory and therefore has a hard time opening up any large leads to cover as chalk, or stay close when a dog. Louisiana has covered the number and two of its first three games this season that have had betting lines. Final Score Prediction, SMU Mustangs win but fall short ATS 65-63.
