Thursday's Best College Football Picks: Louisiana Tech vs. Kennesaw State
(Odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook)
Louisiana Tech (-5.5) vs. Kennesaw State (+5.5) | O/U 45.5 (-110/-110)
Let's pick it up in this Conference USA showdown between Louisiana Tech (4-1, 2-0 CUSA) and Kennesaw State (3-2, 1-0 CUSA). Kickoff is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. ET from Fifth Third Stadium in Kennesaw, GA.
Both of these schools enter the week riding three-game winning streaks, but it has been Louisiana Tech that has absolutely dominated its competition during the run. Their lone loss this season came on the road against #3 LSU in a relatively tight 23-7 affair. The Bulldogs have since posted an average margin of victory of +21.3 in their wins over New Mexico State (49-14), Southern Miss (30-20), and UTEP (30-11). All four of their wins this season are by at least 10 points.
I think it'll be LA Tech's defense that rises up and paves the way for a cover tonight. They're allowing only 5.1 yards per play (42nd) and have limited the opposition to a lowly 56.4% completion rate (17th) in 2025. Kennesaw State is committing 1.3 turnovers per game (68th), and that's not going to bode well against a Louisiana Tech squad that's eighth in turnover margin per game (+1.3) this season. The Bulldogs should keep rolling behind their impressive defense in this one.
Pick: Louisiana Tech Bulldogs -5.5 (-122)
