Louisiana Tech vs North Carolina State Prediction
LT is coming into this contest as a 5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. LT played very well in their last game but they got a lot of contribution to their offense from many different players on their team. They had a really balanced offense that spread the ball around in their last game. NC State was very reliant on their 1 player Seabron in their last game. Their shooting was not that good either and LT shot a lot better than NC State did in their last game. NC State is also 0-5 ATS to start the season this year. The best bet to place in this game is on LT to cover the spread here as they even have a chance to win this game straight up on the moneyline.
