The Warhawks are a weird team to handicap because we really don’t know where exactly they fit into the national rankings. Their last game was against a team they should beat in Texas State and that is what they did by a score of 24-14. They now get a game against one of the tougher opponents they will face all year and they might just get the offensive minded game ULM likes to play as this total is at 67.
The Appalachian State Mountaineers have been great this year and appear to be able to get the job done any which way be it a high scoring shootout or a low scoring defensive battle. They have been perfect this year and the only fault against them is the strength of schedule which has been pretty poor thus far.
They now get an interesting home matchup against a team that can test them especially on the defensive end. Will the Mountaineers continue their perfect season?
ULM Warhawks
The ULM Warhawks will be looking to build some midseason momentum in this game as they have been a bit inconsistent this year. The last game was certainly a high as they went on the road and took care of Texas State with relative ease.
The defense was great in that one as they were able to hold Texas State to under 100 yards rushing and the secondary chipped in with an interception. They likely won’t be able to stop the Mountaineers in this game, but they do have some talent that might be able to at least slow them down a bit and with a total of 67 up on the board that could be enough.

The ULM offense in that last game was not super explosive, but nicely balanced as they rushed for 204 yards and passed for 225 yards. The star of that game for ULM was Josh Johnson who rushed for 114 yards and 2 touchdowns. He got 22 rushing attempts in that last game and I would not expect that work rate to change much even if this game turns into a shootout.
Appalachian State Mountaineers
The Appalachian State Mountaineers played a different brand of football last time out against the Ragin’ Cajuns as they were victorious on the road by a score of 17-7. The defense has plenty to be proud of in that last one as the secondary held Louisiana to only 131 passing yards.
This defense should be ready for what ULM throw at them and can see another strong performance by this unit in front of the home fans. Offensively this team will be a little disappointed about that last contest as they only put up 17 points and a little under 350 yards of total offense. There were no real standout performers on offense as the ball was spread around plenty in that game.

They do get a really nice spot here, though, and I fully expect this offense to put up something in the 40 range. I think Zac Thomas has a nice game here for the Mountaineers and would not be surprised to see him eclipse the 300 yard mark for the first time this season.

Free Week 8 NCAA Football Pick
It is going to be the popular pick, but I am still going to ride with the over in a game between two good offenses. I also don’t have a ton of confidence in either defense despite both of them showing some ability from time to time.
If I were to play a side here it would be ULM even though it has been bet down and we are no longer getting the best of the number. The final score comes close to this 14 mark and think the hook is key in this one so I would have a slight lean towards ULM.
