Louisiana Finishes Non-Conference Play With Huge Opportunity

The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns are 2-1 going into their final non-conference game of the 2024 season. They lost their last game to the Tulane Green Wave by a score of 41-33, but this Louisiana vs Wake Forest matchup represents a huge chance for the Ragin' Cajuns. Not only can Louisiana finish the non-conference portion of their season with a win, but they have a great chance to get a win against a power conference opponent. With how much Wake Forest has struggled to this point in the season, Louisiana could very well win this game outright as an underdog to send them into conference play riding a wave of momentum.

Wake Forest Off to a Shaky Start

Wake Forest is 1-2 going into this non-conference matchup with Louisiana. The Demon Deacons opened their campaign with a win over North Carolina A&T out of the FCS, but have since lost to Virginia and Ole Miss. Wake Forest will look for its first win over an FBS opponent in this game, but to get that win their defense will need to step up in a big way. The Demon Deacons have allowed 35.5 points per game over their last two games and cannot afford another porous defensive performance here if they want to avoid dropping to 0-3.

Louisiana vs Wake Forest Best Bet

While Wake Forest is at home and is the team from the bigger conference in this Louisiana vs Wake Forest matchup, their play this season has left a ton to be desired. We will go with Louisiana to cover the spread as an underdog in this non-conference contest, as we can see either team coming away with a win in what should be a close one throughout in Winston-Salem.
