UL Monroe Warhawks host
Southeastern Louisiana Lions in college football. The bet we are looking at is UL Monroe Warhawks -12.5 Point Spread. On this line UL Monroe Warhawks give up 12.5 points before the game starts, so they have to win by more than 12.5. It was priced at -110 when we wrote this, so a $10 bet returns $19.09 if it lands. That price was showing at FanDuel. Our model likes this one a lot. Prices move, so check the price at your bookmaker before you back it. And if this one does not feel right to you, skipping it is a perfectly good move. On Saturday 19 September 2026,
