ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON UL-Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (-) over Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, Wednesday at 7:30 PM ET: Game #170

Both teams are undefeated on the season but Louisiana has played the tougher schedule. While UL-Lafayette defeated Iowa State by a 17-point margin, Coastal Carolina played Kansas from the Big 12. The Cyclones are projected to be one of the better teams in the Big 12 this season (and went to a bowl last year and faced Notre Dame) while the Jayhawks are off a 3-9 season and have been struggling annually for many years. Additionally, the Ragin' Cajuns' other two games were against fellow Sun Belt foes while only 1 of Coastal Carolina's other two games were. The other one was against an FCS school! Again, big difference in strength of schedule between these two undefeated teams. Additionally, one could argue that Coastal Carolina has revenge here from last year's 48-7 beating at the hands of the Cajuns. However, Louisiana did lose the prior season's match-up when these teams met at Lafayette and a little home loss revenge is on order here. Coming into this season the Ragin' Cajuns were projected to be one of the top teams in the Sun Belt while Coastal Carolina was projected to be one of the worst. The Chanticleers offense has surprised early this season but this will be a tough test for them here and the Ragin' Cajuns do have the better defense. Louisiana has allowed 18 points or less in 2 of their 3 games and that is despite facing the tougher schedule. We are aware of UL-Lafayette having some injury issues and Covid-related issues but those are still not enough to justify the low number posted on this game. Per our computer math model, the Ragin' Cajuns win this one by at least a 2 TD margin. Lay the points with UL-Lafayette in what should be a home blowout in evening action
