Florida International at UL Monroe

UL Monroe is a team that has won just once and stands at 1-5. And they are nearly a two-touchdown favorite? Is there something wrong with the oddsmakers? Not at all! This is a team that has faced Tulsa, Clemson, Texas A&M and the predicted conference champion on the road. The only winnable game they have had was a 30-13 white-washing at home against Arkansas State. This is a team that is loaded on offense as they brought back all 11 starters. They lost five games last season by five points or less to finish at 5-6. So don't let the numbers fool you! This is also homecoming which is a big deal here, and ULM has not disappointed on homecoming. They are 17-8 on homecoming weekend. The Florida International program is a mess. They have now gone 0-18 in their last 18 games, and the next win does not appear to be in sight. They have scored four offensive TDs all season and three of those have come in the fourth quarter and two of them on long passes. The bottom line is that this team has not been able to sustain a drive this season! Things have been so bad that if you totaled up their offensive production over six games (24 quarters) and put it all together this team would be just 3-3, so the defense isn't getting it done either. Last season ULM shut out Florida International 35-0, and we wouldn't be a bit surprised to see a similar score in this one.
