Free NCAA Football Pick: App State Mountaineers +2

The road team has dominated the number between the Appalachian State Mountaineers and the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns as of recent as they have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5 meetings. The Appalachian State Mountaineers have been one of the top teams in the college football in scoring as they currently rank 6th in points scored with 47 PPG. The Ragin’ Cajuns have also been one-dimensional this season on the offensive side of the ball as they are a strong running team but have struggled through the air. I expect the Mountaineers to key in on the ground game and force UL-Lafayette into some long passing situations. Appalachian State is the favorite to win the Sun Belt, and they already have one good win this season as they beat UNC. Expect Appalachian State to come up with a big road win. Final Score Prediction, Appalachian State Mountaineers win and cover ATS 38-31.
