The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers (3-2) will travel to Ruston, Louisiana to square off with the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs (2-3) in a pivotal Conference-USA clash that will likely bode conference implications for both teams vying for the C-USA crown.

Western Kentucky Hilltoppers at Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Overview
</p>
<p>
Western Kentucky enters at 3-2 but they do not own a win against any team that really makes any hands shake. The Hilltoppers own wins against Houston Baptist, Miami Ohio and Rice, this not a very impressive resume to say the least. Against two SEC teams, the Hilltoppers were toppled by both Vanderbilt and Alabama.

Louisiana Tech comes in at 2-3, but they could have easily been 5-0. The Bulldogs remain undaunted at home and lost three games on the road to all quality opponents. The list of assailants include Arkansas in Fayetteville to start off 2016, where the Bulldogs fell 21-20. LA Tech also endured a loss to Texas Tech 59-45 in Lubbock but that is merely hard luck be that Tech’s defense is all the more porous. The most recent peril for the Bulldogs came when they fell 38-34 at Middle Tennessee State, a team with a reputation for taking down any team that dare challenge them when they are at home.

Western Kentucky Hilltoppers at Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Prediction

In the early going we have seen this line move half of a point in favor of the Hilltoppers, signaling that the public are going in on WKU and ready to spot points to the home dog Louisiana Tech. We are attacking this one from the angle of home field advantage. Louisiana Tech is 2-0 at home this season, as all three losses came away from Ruston. The Bulldogs were competitive in every game they lost this season, so the price here clearly does not reflect the team we are taking back. Had a few things gone in the favor of LA Tech perhaps we would be talking about a heavy home favorite that may been undefeated. This game looks like a trap to any Western Kentucky taker. The Hilltoppers as mentioned have been stymied against any team that is the least formidable so far this season and now they have to take on a football club that has found ways to be competitive even when their talent matriculated to the NFL. The Bulldogs may win this one outright.
