Louisiana vs Minnesota Plugs Prediction - College Football Picks 9/30/23

-Minnesota Golden Gophers (2-2) vs Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (3-1)

The Louisiana Ragin Cajuns and Minnesota Golden Gophers face off today in a Week 5 early college football showdown at TCF Bank Stadium. I have the play that is sure to get you to the cash in this game!

Louisiana needs the offense to be good much like they have been the last couple of games. Two games ago against UAB, Louisiana was able to secure the 41-21 victory and in the last game against Buffalo they were able to secure the 45-38. Under center for Louisiana is Zeon Chriss and he completed 22 of his 49 passes for 249 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions. Louisiana is averaging 38.8 points while their defense is giving up 27.5 points per game. Can They Make some noise today and spice things up!?

For far too long PJ Fleck has played not to lose by controlling the game with tempo and way too often they take their foot off the gas and beat themselves. In the last game against Northwestern, it cost them, and it was the worst loss in the Fleck era. In the 4th quarter, Minnesota was outscored 21-0 in the 4th quarter and they ended up losing in overtime. The secondary for the defense is also clearly a huge issue for this team. Running back Darius Tyler is having a big season and he has rushed for 532 yards and four touchdowns. Can they overcome getting in there own way today!?

💎Minnesota -9.5 -147 ( 1u )

💎Minnesota TT over 30.5 -110 ( .5U )

It's simple for me in this one! Fleck and the Gophers are going to want to make a big statement here. The offense is going to try and pile up the points quick and this Louisana defense is terrible. I expect Minnesota to have no issue running up the score and that is game and Absolutly abusing this defense! Gophers are going to get the win and the cover for us today. So we will Back Minnesota against the spread and take there TT for some extra money!
