UL Monroe vs South Alabama Prediction

However, UL Monroe has covered 7 of its last 9 games and is 16-11 ATS on the season. South Alabama has gone on a covering spree lately as well but is just 14-13 ATS. These teams also met back in December, and UL Monroe took South Alabama to overtime as a 9.5-point underdog. It’s not pretty, but we’re not asking UL Monroe to win this game. Just hang around like it has all year. Give me the points.
