Nicholls ST will keep this game closer than the spread even being on the road in this one as they love being in the underdog role. La Tech have won four straight and are hot coming into this game. The Colonels are off a blow out loss by Baylor but should be able to bounce back in this game and cover the spread after that embarrassing loss. They have beaten S. Bama on the road and kept the game close with MS St and beat LSU on the road this season as well. Look for a better effort from the Colonels.
