NEWSLETTER College Football Prediction From Vernon Croy
Take Louisiana Tech (+2) over Western Kentucky (8 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 10)
This pick falls into one of my top CFB systems, and I was not impressed with this Western Kentucky team in week 1. The Bulldogs are a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games when playing a team that has a winning record, and they are also 17-4 ATS in their last 21 road games when playing a team with a winning record at home. The Bulldogs have been a covering machine on the road, going 21-7 ATS in their last 28 road games, and I look for that trend to continue this season. The Bulldogs won this meeting last season 59-10, and I look for a much closer game this time around. However, LT should win this game outright in a very high-scoring affair. Play Louisiana Tech ATS with confidence.
