Louisiana-Monroe vs. Troy Prediction

I’m on Louisiana-Monroe here. I just have a hard time laying this many points with a Troy team that doesn’t normally blow teams away. Granted, they did beat ULM by 19 points when these teams met about three weeks ago, but Troy found some confidence in sweeping South Alabama, who I consider to be one of the better teams in the Sun Belt, and I think that Troy could have a bit of a scare put into them if they take Louisiana-Monroe lightly here. Give me the Warhawks and the points.
