The Arkansas-Little Rock Trojans have been fade material on the road dating back to last season, and they have defensive issues whenever playing any decent team. The UL Monroe Warhawks have covered five straight home games, and their offense should have a field day in this contest. UL Monroe is arguably the best offensive team in the Sun Belt. I’ll lay the chalk with the home team.
