Louisiana-Monroe has played two road games this season. The Warhawks lost by 42 points to Texas and fell to Alabama by 56 points in those away matchups.

Arkansas State certainly isn't the caliber of the Longhorns and Crimson Tide. But the Red Wolves are more than a touchdown better than Monroe at home.

The Red Wolves have covered the past 12 times against the Warhawks.

The Warhawks rank 116th in scoring averaging 18.3 points. They are 112th defensively giving up 34.8 points.

Yet Monroe could actually be in a letdown spot after upsetting UW-Lafayette, 21-17, at home last Saturday as 9 1/2-point 'dogs.

Arkansas State has a huge quarterback edge with James Blackman. The Red Wolves rolled over Grambling, 58-3, at home opening week. They've been on the road for their next three games. Those were all losses. But the Red Wolves had tough competition playing Ohio State, Memphis and Old Dominion.

Now they finally get to play at home again. The Warkhawks are 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games.

Look for Arkansas State to make it 13 straight covers against Monroe.
