From the booth

The model favored UL to win, and the call landed.

Louisiana's coming in hot and the numbers say they should be, getting about a three-point edge from Vegas and carrying that momentum into Charlotte where the model gives the Ragin' Cajuns a 76% chance to walk out of there with a win. Charlotte's got their backs against the wall down here, sitting at just 24%, and it all comes down to Louisiana's superior rating and how they've been playing over their last five games. This is classic David and Goliath stuff, but the eye test and the metrics both tell you to ride with the road team in this one.
