Tight Sun Belt Tilt expected Tuesday
Despite losing three in row, Arkansas State is a decent Sun Belt team, but any hopes of staying in the conference race hinge on beating UL-Monroe. Off two painful three-point losses to Troy and Iowa, the Red Wolves have to come up with answers.
This Tuesday nationally televised cable contest is a strange setup for coaches. Arkansas State coach Steve Roberts spoke in his weekly Sun Belt media call. “It is uncharted territory for us, playing a Tuesday night game, but I think the extra practice time will be beneficial for both teams.”
The Red Wolves (1-3, 1-2 ATS) have been tortured thru the air, allowing 266.5 yards per games (112th nationally). UL-Monroe (3-2, 4-1 ATS) prefers the running game (43 attempts at 4.9 YPC), which may bail out Arkansas State to a certain degree. The Warhawks are judicious with the pass and the Red Wolves are 1-10 ATS vs. passing teams with a completion percentage of 58 percent or better over the last three seasons.
UL-Monroe is 2-0 in the Sun Belt and victory sets up Halloween matchup with Troy, which could be for undisputed conference lead. UL- Monroe is averaging 33.4 points per game, thanks junior quarterback Trey Revell, after losing talented Kinsmon Lancaster to graduation. Revell was the biggest unknown for the Warhawks coming into the season, but with the help of a good offensive line and capable players in skill positions, the offense has flourished. UL-Monroe has covered last five against teams with losing records.
Bookmaker.com has UL-Monroe as two-point favorites with total around 58. The Warhawks are 2-2 against Arkansas State the last two years, but 4-0 ATS. The Red Wolves arrive at Malone Stadium 1-9 ATS vs. good offensive teams scoring 31 or more points a game.
It’s not cut and dry however, as the visitor has covered six of last eight and the underdog has beat the spread NINE straight times, with five outright upsets. Could there be another on the way?
