The Red Wolves are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. The Warhawks are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 16-33-2 ATS in their last 51 home games.
UL Monroe might be 0-4 on the road this season, however, the Warhawks have been outstanding at home this season, posting a 4-1 record, which includes impressive wins against Troy & Liberty. Arkansas State has had a long season, largely due to major issues on the defensive end as the Red Wolves come into this game ranked just 129th in scoring defense & 130th in total defense. UL Monroe has been solid offensively over the last month as they have averaged 29.8 ppg over their last 4 games and as I think they have no issues putting up plenty of points against the Red Wolves, I’m taking UL Monroe to have no issue covering this mid-range home spread. Good Luck!
