Louisiana vs. Arkansas State prediction, pick:

The best quarterback in this matchup sits on the Arkansas State side in Jaylen Raynor. He has thrown for 2,454 yards and 13 touchdowns on the season, but has seen interceptions serve as his kryptonite with 10 already.

The Red Wolves will try to throw it, and that matches up well against a Louisiana defense giving up 217 passing yards per game at a 70% completion rate. They also give up a whopping 193 rushing yards per game, which could be exploited by running back Devin Spencer, who is averaging 5.3 yards per carry.

Alternatively, the Ragin' Cajuns can run the ball and do so for just shy of 190 yards per game. Arkansas State gives up 176 rushing yards per game.

In a matchup where we are getting some strengths on weaknesses, the lean goes to the team with better quarterback play at home and sees Arkansas State pick up its sixth win to punch a ticket to bowl eligibility in the postseason.

Prediction: Arkansas State 30, Louisiana 24
