Louisiana-Monroe vs UTEP Prediction

In their only previous meeting back in 2020, UTEP won 31-6 on the road, covering the spread, as the game went under the point total.

In this Louisiana-Monroe vs UTEP Prediction, UTEP is coming as -4.5-point home favorites. Both teams are coming off blowout losses on the road, but UTEP is back home trying to bounce back. Louisiana-Monroe looked awful in Alabama, where they lost by 73 points, and are now playing their second straight game on the road, and they have not covered the spread in any of their two games this season. I like the hosts in a bounce-back spot in front of their home crowed today, so take UTEP and lay the -4.5 points at home.
