App State Mountaineers vs UL Monroe Warhawks Point Spread Picks

Appalachian St. can't be too happy with what happened last week. They led and dominated Wyoming 19-7 in the 4th quarter and lost. They outgained the Cowboys 417-208. I'm sure this team had a tough week of practice and Appalachian St. should have a strong day on the field with their defense which has now allowed just 448 total yards combined in their last two contests. UL Monroe is averaging fewer than 15 points a game and will feel the full wrath of the Mounataineer's defense in this one. UL Monroe has had a couple of strong defensive efforts itself as they held the Army to 283 yards in a 17-13 win. This one looks similar to that one, and I think this total is significantly higher than it should be. Make the play UNDER the total.

Appalachian State had a big, 30-27, win over Coastal Carolina last Wednesday and now has had three extra days to prepare for UL Monroe, who has won two straight, including a huge upset against Liberty. However, the Warhawks still haven't convinced everyone, including the bookmaker, that they can compete on a consistent basis. UL Monroe is getting near four touchdowns in this matchup due to previous losses by 53 points to Coastal Carolina and by 34 points versus Georgia State. Chase Brice had 347 yards passing with two TDs for the Mountaineers, and Malik Williams caught 10 passes for 206 yards and a TD as the Chanticleers fell from the undefeated ranks. The Warhawks beat South Alabama, 41-31, with Chandler Rogers throwing for 369 yards and 4 touchdowns. Appalachian State has won the last two meetings by an average of 31.5 points, and UL Monroe is 1-6 ATS its past seven road games. Lay the points with Appalachian State for a Max Play.

Appalachian State is 3-1 and comes off a 45-17 blowout win over Arkansas State as Zac Thomas scored on a 60-yard run and threw four touchdown passes. Daetrich Harrington rushed for 137 yards and D'Marco Jackson made two interceptions in the end zone and the Mountaineers recorded six sacks in a dominating performance. It was the first time they had played in 26 days due to COVID scheduling issues, but the Mountaineers showed no signs of rust. Appalachian State is No. 17 in the country in yards gained (483.0) and seventh in rushing yards (483.0) while averaging 34.8 points per game. UL Monroe is scoring only 13.5 points per contest and has yet to win a game and is 1-5 ATS. The Warhawks lost 38-14 to South Alabama on Saturday and allowed 540 total yards of offense. Colby Suits completed 22 of 33 for 282 yards and a touchdown with an interception for UL Monroe, but he was also victimized by a 95-yard interception return in the first quarter that got things rolling for the Jaguars. Appalachian State destroyed the Warhawks 52-7 last year and the Mountaineers have covered the spread 12 of their last 16 road games while UL Monroe is 9-23 ATS its last 32 games overall. Take Appalachian State.
