UL Monroe at Western Kentucky

Each college football season there are a few teams that really surprise, and a pair of them meet here. Western Kentucky has quickly built a competitive program, off to a 5-1 start to the season. The Hilltoppers are riding a 15-straight ATS winning streak, but the problem is that almost all of it was as a dog. Only once this season have they been a bigger favorite during the streak. A lot of small conference teams go out early looking for a big paycheck and get eaten alive by big teams, but come ready for conference play. That wasn't quite the case for UL Monroe who won at Arkansas in OT by 3, lost at Auburn by 3, and had Baylor on the ropes at home before bowing by 5. This is a 4-2 club that is both good and dangerous, as well as tested. Kolton Browning has passed for 1,606 yards with 14 TDs and 3 INTs on the season, as half of the Warhawks’ opponents have been from BCS Conferences, with two on the road. Western Kentucky is good, but the streak is ruling the line. UL Monroe is simply better. All good things must come to an end. Take UL Monroe in this one.
