Louisiana Monroe Warhawks vs. Troy Trojans Prediction

I’m on Troy here. I get the case to be made for the Warhawks considering that this is a boatload of points. However, Troy is still one of the best teams in the Sun Belt and I think Louisiana Monroe could easily get drilled in this game by 20+ as the Trojans will try to build up some momentum going into the conference tournament. Give me Troy here.

Chris Ruffolo's Pick: Troy -19.5
