UL Monroe at Alabama

UL Monroe is off a 5-7 season, including a 51-3 loss when they stepped up to play Texas. They also gave up 47 points when they played Texas A&M of the SEC two years ago. The matchup problem for this game will be the defensive line, as Monroe was terrible against the run in 2024 and doesn't look any better. They ranked 123rd in the nation, allowing 212.9 yards rushing per game, on a 7-4 run OVER the total. Alabama won't be in a good mood after losing at Florida State, 31-17, as fans stormed the field and celebrated in the faces of the Crimson Tide players. Last September, Alabama beat Western Kentucky (63-0) and South Florida (42-16). Take UL Monroe/Alabama OVER the total.
