Major
(NCAAF) Louisiana Tech vs. Louisiana-Lafayette,
Point Spread: -15.00 | -110.00 Louisiana-Lafayette (Home)
Result: Loss
The schedule maker did Louisiana Tech no favors. The Bulldogs open the season with three games in 13 days, all on the road and all against 2013 bowl teams. Four of their first five games are on the road, including a Sept. 27 contest at Auburn.

It is also tough to ignore that teams returning home off a 35-point or more win if they are not laying more than 38.5 points are a splendid 624-452-25 against the spread.
