UL Monroe vs. Texas A&M betting predictions
While the UL Monroe Warhawks are undefeated through two games and the Texas A&M Aggies are 1-1, the latter has come through a much tougher schedule. While Texas A&M's schedule will get much tougher as SEC play begins, this weekend's contest should be nothing more than a tune-up game for them.
Look for the Aggies to bounce back from a tough loss to the Miami Hurricanes and win by at least 37 points.
Pick: Texas A&M Aggies -36.5 (-110)
