[T-6 Miner]

Louisiana Tech at UTEP​

When: Saturday, 9 p.m. ET | Where: El Paso, Texas

Latest Odds:Louisiana Tech Bulldogs -6.5

UTEP's 5-1 start has admittedly been aided by one of the worst schedules in college football, but hosting a struggling Louisiana Tech team with bowl eligibility on the line is the perfect opportunity to flip the narrative. The Miners' defense has quietly been outstanding, holding four of its five FBS opponents to 21 points or fewer. Plus, wide receiver Jacob Cowing is explosive enough to cause issues for Louisiana Tech's secondary. UTEP can win this game and reach bowl eligibility for the first time since Packers running back Aaron Jones was on campus. ATS: UTEP, SU: UTEP
