Louisiana vs. Louisiana-Monroe Prediction

I’m going to take a shot with Louisiana-Monroe and the points here. I think that the Warhawks will throw everything at the wall here as a program that rarely gets to go bowling against a Louisiana team that may have already clinched their spot in the title game depending on how South Alabama does on Friday. Either way, I think this is simply a case of too many points as I expect Monroe to battle here.
