Arkansas State vs Louisiana-Monroe Prediction
The Louisiana-Monroe Warhawks are still a win away from a bowl berth, but that’s been the case for a while, and that hasn’t stopped them from losing four straight and getting clapped defensively. The Arkansas State Red Wolves are unbeaten at home, and the Warhawks don’t do anything well offensively to scare them. It just feels like Louisiana-Monroe has run out of gas, and it’s hard seeing this streak end on the road. I’ll lay the field goal with the Red Wolves.
