The Bulldogs and the Florida Atlantic Owls will face off in a Conference USA battle at 7 p.m. ET Thursday at FAU Arena. Bragging rights belong to Louisiana Tech for now since they're up 6-2 across their past eight matchups.

Barring any buzzer beaters, Louisiana Tech is expected to win a tight contest. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (9-3-1), so they might be worth a quick bet.
