Handicapper: Dylan Miles | Sports Investor Central

The Appalachian State Mountaineers will head to Lafayette to take on the Ragin’ Cajuns in a Sun Belt battle Wednesday night from Cajun Field. UL Lafayette has lost their past 2 games in overtime to Tulane and New Mexico State. Appalachian State should be fresh coming off a BYE week.

The Mountaineers gave Tennessee all they could handle in Week 1 of the college football season and it has set the tone for the season. Appalachian State has averaged 213 yards per game on the ground, which ranks 36th in the nation but their top RB Marcus Cox is questionable for Wednesday’s game. Cox missed their last game vs Georgia State with a leg injury.

The Ragin Cajuns have struggled a bit on offense scoring an average of 27.6 points per game ranking them 77th overall.

The Louisiana Lafayette defense has not been good due to their inability defending down field, allowing an average of 298 passing yards per game, and they have faced some weak competition.
