The Warhawks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
I’m not running to the window to back either of these teams that have serious issues on both sides of the ball. If anything, the over is worth a look, with these being two of the worst defensive clubs in college football. With that said, Texas State is at home and is slightly better offensively. The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks have had no luck on the road this season. I’ll lay the reasonable number with the Bobcats, but there are better options out there.
