Army's unbeaten series history with Louisiana Tech projected to hold up

Army has never lost to Louisiana Tech, taking all three meetings since 2008 and winning the last three in a row, and Versus sees a fourth straight as the likely outcome this week. The projection has Army winning 29-26, a three-point margin that lines up with a program still finding its footing after Friday's win at Temple, its first there since September 2024.

This is a non-conference game, with Army representing the American Athletic Conference and Louisiana Tech playing out of the Sun Belt, so nothing in either league's standings is at stake. Army sits at 69th in FBS to Louisiana Tech's 116th, a 47-spot gap that Versus's own head-to-head notes point to directly. Army carries a B- overall grade with a B defense and a 49th ranked defensive unit, while its offense checks in at 66th. Louisiana Tech's offense actually grades out as B- as well and ranks 69th, but its overall grade is a D, weighed down by a defense ranked 88th and a strength of schedule ranked 130th.

Louisiana Tech has lost back-to-back games for the first time since November 2025, both defeats coming against teams with winning records, which fits a matchup against an Army team that has not finished a season below .500 since 2019.
