On defense, Tristan Driggers has a team-high 56 total tackles while ULM’s defense has combined for 14 sacks and 5 interceptions so far this season.

The Georgia State Panthers will look to build on back-to-back wins after a 42-14 win over Southern Miss in their last game to improve to 4-5 on the year as a result. Darren Grainger has thrown for 1,615 yards, 15 touchdowns and 6 interceptions while also rushing for a team-high 656 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Louisiana-Monroe is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games against a team with a losing record and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 road games. Georgia State is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 conference games while the under is 6-1 in their last 7 games against a team with a losing record.

I get the reasoning for looking at an underdog in a spot like this. However, Georgia State’s the better team on both sides of the ball right now, are on fire and are trying climb to bowl eligibility. I think this one’s all Georgia State here, as they’ve been dominant at home in their last couple of games and ULM is starting to look like they’re falling apart down the stretch. All in all, I think this one’s a three-score win for Georgia State so I’ll lay it and play it with the Panthers here.
