What to Know

The Little Rock Trojans and the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns are even-steven against one another since January of 2016 (8-8), but not for long.

Louisiana lost a heartbreaker to the Georgia Southern Eagles when they met in March of 2020, and they left with a heavy heart again on Saturday. Louisiana was just a bucket short of a victory and fell 66-65 to Georgia Southern.

The Trojans are expected to lose this next one by 6.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 4-10 ATS when expected to lose.
