New Orleans Bowl Preview

East Carolina Pirates       La.-Lafayette Ragin Cajuns
East Carolina (+6.5) vs. Louisiana-Lafayette

East Carolina was a perennial bowl team throughout the early 2000s. They took a hiatus last year but return to postseason play under Ruffin McNeil. Louisiana-Lafayette gets a return trip to New Orleans. The Ragin' Cajuns were the New Orleans Bowl champs a year ago. They will have the benefit of the home crowd again as they square off with East Carolina. Both teams can put up points so expect a shootout. In the end, I like UL-Lafayette to please the home state crowd again.

Prediction - UL-Lafayette 34 East Carolina 28
