No one on the defense came away with an interception for them in that game.

The current betting odds have Texas A&M listed as a 36 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Texas A&M was absolutely embarrassed in their last game by Miami-FL as they couldn't keep up in that game but they will be looking to take out their frustrations on a much weaker team now that they are back at home. LA-Monroe is off to a good start this season with their 2-0 record but they haven't really played anyone strong in their first 2 games. Texas A&M will be the strongest team they have faced this season so far and they are getting them in the worst spot coming back home after an embarrassing loss in a game they were favored to win. Texas A&M is definitely going to struggle against the better teams in their conference this season, but they blew out New Mexico at home in their season opener and they will do the same here since LA-Monroe simply doesn't have the talent on defense to stop this Texas A&M offense and they don't have the offense to put up a ton of points on this Texas A&M defense either. The best way to place a bet here is on Texas A&M to cover the spread in this game. 

Louisiana-Monroe Texas A&M Prediction:  Our NCAAF Pick for Saturday, September 16, 2023 (4:00 pm ET start time) is Texas A&M 52 ULM 10.
