T.M. Selection: Appalachian State.

I like Appalachian State to cover the spread against Louisiana-Lafayette on Tuesday. App State looked a lot better in their last game after a close 1 point win against Marshall in the week before. They are a 5 point favorite here and have won 3/4 games by that number clearing that spread. They beat Georgia State by 29 points and then had a bye week so they are rested and refreshed with the last 2 weeks off. Their passing game was great in that win over the Panthers. The Ragin' Cajuns have won 4 games in a row but this will be the toughest team they have faced this year, other than Texas and they lost that game by 20 points. They also had their bye week last week but it will not mean much as App State is just a much better team. The Ragin' Cajuns won their last game but they did not really pass the ball a lot or even run it that much. App State has a much stronger offense and the potential to run away with this game if they keep pulling away during the game. I like App State to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 35-20 App State.
