Chris’ Pick
Call me crazy, but I’m backing ULM here. This is their last chance at a win so I expect them to throw everything at a rival to try to play spoiler considering Louisiana needs a win here to gain bowl eligibility. The Warhawks have also covered in 6 of the last 10 meetings and the majority of those have been one score games with a lot of recent meetings seeing ULM as decent-sized underdogs as they are here including an outright win last season. Give me the Warhawks and the points.
