Take UL Monroe -3
I'm going with Monroe here they have faced a stronger offensive opponent all year long and have put up much better defensive numbers. Lafayette likes to run the ball and they have done it well against a 97th ranked rush defense this year. However, they will go up against the best in the Sun Belt in terms of rush defense and an overall 26th ranked. Monroe on the other hand should be able to run all over Lafayette ranked 95th in the nation against the run and Monroe ranked 30th. I look for the aggressive Monroe LB to make plays in the backfield and for this game to be a close one, but in the end it's Monroe getting the win and running the clock out won't be a problem.
