Before making any Appalachian State vs. Louisiana picks, you'll want to see the college football predictions from the SportsLine's Projection Model has to say.

The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every FBS college football game 10,000 times. Over the past five-plus years, the proprietary computer model has generated a stunning profit of almost $3,700 for $100 players on its top-rated college football picks against the spread. It also enters Championship Week 2021 on a 42-28 run on all top-rated college football side picks. Anyone who has followed it has seen HUGE returns.  

The model knows Appalachian State's offense is dynamic. The Mountaineers are averaging 35.8 points per game. Chase Brice has tallied 2,901 yards with 22 passing touchdowns. Three of his receivers have amassed at least 700 receiving yards and five receiving touchdowns. Nate Noel and Camerun Peoples give Appalachian State a well-rounded attack by contributing on the ground. The duo has racked up 1,800 rushing yards and 17 rushing scores.

The model also knows Louisiana has a top-tier scoring defense. The Ragin' Cajuns held the Mountaineers to a season-low 13 points earlier this year. They've held opponents to a mere 18.5 points per game in 2021.

Now, it has simulated Appalachian State vs. Louisiana 10,000 times, and the results are in.
