Thursday Night Pick
Just click on the image above to see the matchup.
The Thursday night game this week matches up Western Kentucky vs Louisiana Tech. La Tech has a new quarterback in Jeff Driskel who you may remember started at Florida last year. 1000 yard rusher Kenneth Dixon returns for La Tech as well. Western Kentucky opened last week with a win over Vanderbilt in Nashville. In a role reversal from 2014, Western Kentucky’s defense carried the offense in the Vandy win. Western Kentucky returns all the pieces from a high octane offense in QB Brandon Doughty (4830 yards passing last year), three of the top four wideouts, and RB Leon Allen who rushed for 1542 yards. Look for Western Kentucky’s offense to get on track this week and ride the Thursday night home momentum train to cover the spread against La Tech just as the Game Picker predicts. (Western Kentucky +2 is the current line)
