Louisiana Tech at Florida International Pick & Prediction – 9/28/2024

In a matchup between the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs and the Florida International Panthers on September 28, 2024, the Bulldogs are currently favored by 2.5 points according to DraftKings Sportsbook.

With both teams looking evenly matched, this Louisiana Tech vs Florida International game promises to be an exciting showdown for college football fans.

Louisiana Tech Hopes Conference Play Sparks Turnaround

Through three games, the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs have gone 1-2, beating FCS Nicholls State before losing to NC State and Tulsa over their last two games. Both of those losses were respectable, as the Bulldogs stayed within 10 points of NC State on the road before losing in overtime to Tulsa. In this contest, Louisiana Tech's offense will need to step up against a FIU defense that has struggled to get stops against most of the teams they have gone up against this season.

FIU Must Rebound From Loss to FCS Opponent

Florida International is 1-3 to start their season, with their last game being a loss to Monmouth out of the FCS at Pitbull Stadium. FIU gave up 45 points to Monmouth in that game, which is alarming as the Panthers continue to struggle on the defensive side of the ball in 2024. They have allowed 41.5 points per game over their last two games, a trend that cannot continue if the Panthers are going to move to 2-1 at home on the season and move to 1-0 in Conference USA competition for the year.

Louisiana Tech vs Florida International Best Bet

After watching Florida International lose outright to an FCS opponent last week, we can't see them doing much better in this Louisiana Tech vs FIU matchup. We will take Louisiana Tech to win and cover the spread in Miami, as the Bulldogs should get their record back to the .500 mark for the year while they get a win in their first conference game of the season.
