The UL Monroe Warhawks are in a serious trap game after they played Texas last week and have Alabama on deck this week. Yes, UL Monroe has no chance in either game, but there’s no doubt the majority of the focus is on those games and not on the Nicholls State Colonels. With that said, we’re getting a low line on an FBS team against an FCS team, something you don’t see often. No matter what you think of the Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks, they are the more talented, better roster in terms of quality of athletes. Give me the Warhawks and the soft line.
