James Madison vs UL Monroe Prediction

Not only does UL Monroe have just seven wins on the season, but the Warhawks are 9-18 ATS on the season. UL Monroe has no betting value no matter how you slice it. James Madison has won nine of its last 10 games and is closing in on a conference title. This is a layup game to pretty much lock things up in the Sun Belt. I don’t want anything to do with UL Monroe. Thick line for a road team, but I’m still going to roll with James Madison.

Randy Chambers's Pick: James Madison -12.5
