From the booth

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

Louisiana's got this one locked up, and the model's got 'em at 97 percent to win it all. The Ragin' Cajuns come in as massive nineteen and a half point favorites, and that Vegas line plus their Elo rating advantage tells you everything you need to know about the talent disparity here. Lamar's looking at just a 3 percent shot, and honestly, that's pretty much style points at this stage. This one figures to be a blowout unless something goes sideways early.
