00:00 the game. The game Cox a slight
00:07 two and a half point favorite.
00:08 How do you break down the New
00:09 Orleans ball between the Game
00:10 Cox and the Raging Cajun? Well,
00:11 it's intriguing because
00:12 Jacksonville State six and two
00:14 in terms of conference USA
00:16 Zion Webb, their quarterback, a
00:18 dual threat type of player
00:19 average well over five and a
00:21 half yards per rush. Eight
00:22 touchdowns on the ground. Only
00:24 a 50% completion percentage.
00:26 Five touchdowns, six
00:28 touchdowns in Jacksonville State
00:31 averaging 232 on the ground but
00:33 they run a lot of up tempo in
00:35 terms of less time between
00:37 plays and the other team in UL
00:39 Lafayette guys that have lost
00:41 three of the last four down the
00:43 stretch. Yeah. Chris there
00:45 quarterback is the more
00:46 explosive passer in this matchup
00:48 but a cause of concern for me is
00:50 the UL Lafayette defense.
00:52 They're allowing 44% of third
00:54 down conversions. If you can run
00:56 it like I think Jacksonville
00:57 State is the right side. They're
00:59 a little bit more physical. They
01:01 want to be here. They're the
01:03 better team coached with by Rich
01:05 Rod. I love that matchup. So, I
01:07 lean Jacksonville State but
01:08 again, 57 and a half 58 with two
01:11 run heavy type of teams. I'm
01:13 going under Kev. I don't I get
01:15 it. I played a Louisiana team
01:17 total because Chandler Fields
01:19 has earned my money today for
01:21 the three games that he's
01:22 played. Yeah. He has been
01:24 fantastic. The team total is
01:26 fantastic. The team total for
01:28 Louisiana is three and oh to the
01:30 over with him at quarterback.
01:31 They average over thirty-five
01:33 points per game. One of those is
01:35 obviously a 52 point number so
01:37 that elevates it. You want to
01:38 call it how they performed on
01:39 the twenty-seven and a half.
01:40 It's two out of three but again,
01:42 their team total beating
01:43 expectation in three games. I'm
01:45 going to trust Chandler Fields
01:47 here because he has added
01:49 another element to this
01:50 Louisiana team. The Zion Web
01:52 numbers rushing wise are
01:54 increasing but the books have
01:57 set it just way too high. Like
01:59 if you look, if you're an all
02:01 player, like his numbers around
02:03 in the 70s. Yeah. Eighty plus
02:05 ninety plus and a hundred plus.
02:06 There's hardly a gap like you
02:07 should be starting to, you
02:09 know, get to the 250 zone there.
02:11 They see it coming a mile away.
02:13 So, I'm not going to get
02:14 involved with any of those props
02:16 there. I'm not, I don't trust
02:17 Jacksonville State as much in
02:18 the game. I played a team total
02:20 here isolated.
