WKU and UL Monroe both are an order of magnitude better than the rest of the Sun Belt teams. I haven't done the analysis on this game but WKU should cover comfortably based on first impressions.

Another underrated team. Just like Ball State and Northern Illinois this weekend.

I think that speaks to the Warhawks tenacity and how good ULM is this year than a failing on WKU. Both teams have really overachieved this year.

Only caution is that some wonky and sometime crooked-feeling stuff happens in the Sun Belt. I got burned last Tuesday on a phantom penalty fix.

QB Jake Medlock's return has made FIU much more competitive. Without him they were atrocious, but they've been able to score with MTSU and Troy since his return, and keep the games very close. Don't forget this team won 8 games last year and lost @WKU 10-9. I really like WKU and think they're hands down the best team in the Belt, but don't be surprised if FIU keeps it close.

Ohhh yea, just like Troy was -7 at FIU and won by one point last week?
They were getting manhandled for the most part too until the fourth quarter.

WKU is a much better team than Troy. Even WKU's 35-0 loss against Alabama wasn't that horrific if you look at the numbers. If WKU beat ULM last week by 14 pts+ which they could've if they hadn't gotten conservative, then this line would be double digits.

I've bet a few times on WKU and watched a little of them, they can handle most Sun Belt teams easily.

I would be hesitant to take Western Kentucky's 14 game ATS streak (before last weekend) into consideration. The books definitely have noticed this, inflating WKU's spreads as of late. A lot of reputable handicappers I talked to thought the ULM game should've been a pick 'em or having ULM a slight favorite, instead WKU was favored by 3.5. Be careful when looking at the Hilltoppers, they are favorite team to back in the Sun Belt.

FIU steamed to +6.5 with the public heavily on WKU. Don't know what's going on but I'm a lot more worried now about the WKU play.

I agree 100%
I cashed with Monroe last week. Although felt I was a little lucky getting the cover. Still Monroe shouldn't have been a 3.5 point dog.
