UL Monroe at Texas State

UL Monroe lost, 59-28, at Appalachian State to even its record at 4-4, but that is a huge improvement over last season's 0-10 record as Terry Bowden has made great strides in his first season as coach. UL Monroe had won two straight, first as a 32.5-point underdog against Liberty and then as a 13.5-point dog versus South Alabama. Texas State is having another bad year after going 6-26 the previous four seasons. The Bobcats have lost three in a row, including a 45-0 blowout at UL Lafayette on Saturday. Tyler Vitt threw for only 42 yards on 6 of 13 with no touchdowns and an interception, and he was the leading rusher with 94 yards on 15 carries against the Ragin' Cajuns. This is another revenge game for the Warhawks, who lost last year's meeting, 38-17. The road team has covered in the spread the last five meetings, and Texas State is 2-5-1 ATS its past eight games as a favorite. Take UL Monroe for a Max Play.
